The mission of the C-STEM Center is to improve computing, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (C-STEM) education in both formal and informal K-14 programs through integrated learning. The goal of the C-STEM Center is to broaden participation of students, especially female and underrepresented minorities, in computing and to develop students’ computer-aided problem-solving skills to tackle real-world STEM problems through integrated computing and STEM education. Our vision is to provide formal computing education for all K-12 students. The C-STEM Center studies how to use innovative computing and robotics technologies to increase student interest and help them learn STEM subjects with an emphasis on Algebra, the gatekeeper for STEM disciplines. The C-STEM Center also studies how to streamline the curriculum on computing education in the context of STEM subjects in elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools, as well as the first two years of college to increase student interest in pursuing computing and STEM related careers and post-secondary study.
