CREATE for STEM is a Michigan State University-sponsored research institute with a broad mandate to improve teaching and learning in the STEM disciplines for all students from grades K-16, regardless of their backgrounds. Collaboration is at the heart of our work, and we collaborate across subject matters, between organizations, and among researchers and practitioners to create innovative reform in STEM education. Through the efforts of our diverse community of researchers and educators, we are making a difference in fostering a generation of STEM-literate citizens. #create4stem
