PreK-12 STEM Education Innovations

Recently completed

A committee-supported project or activity that has been completed and for which output dissemination has begun. Its committee has been disbanded and closeout procedures are underway.

Navigating our increasingly technological world and harnessing advances in science and technology to address local and global challenges requires a population that understands the STEM disciplines. National investments in PreK-12 STEM education have led to innovative programs, technologies, and practices with research documenting their effectiveness. To capitalize on these investments, it is important to take stock of what is required to sustain successful initiatives and to scale or adapt them to increase uptake. This study will review the literature and identify research gaps on factors that impede or facilitate widespread implementation of these initiatives at local, regional, and national levels.
