Advancing the future of STEM Education

The Center for Advancing the Teaching and Learning of STEM (CATALYST) is an interdisciplinary research-oriented center that is jointly sponsored by the College of Education and the College of Science. Our focus is on building and supporting a community of educational professionals who are dedicated to advancing K-12 STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) teaching and learning.

We seek to use our work to inform policy and public support of STEM teaching and learning at the local, national, and global levels.
