Evidence Sharing Sessions

These sessions will help us to better understand the landscape of research happening in the STEM+C portfolio. In concurrent interactive sessions 6 groups of participants organized around grade spans and themes will unpack the collective impact and evidence emerging from their projects. Sessions will begin with concrete examples of evidence and findings (see speakers in session details below). Participants will discuss their research questions, preliminary findings and anticipated impacts. We encourage PIs to join the group that is the best fit for their project’s goals and to distribute their project teams across other groups to discuss and share insights & impact with others and to learn about advances STEM+C is making in those other areas.
