RESEARCH & PUBLICATIONS

Our Commitment to Research-Informed STEM Education

STEM Pioneers’ educational vision has been documented in the proceedings of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE). Our publication, Early Age Experiential Learning through STEM Pioneers, presents the organization’s approach to early STEM engagement through hands-on activities, project-based learning, and expanded access to STEM education and career pathways.

Our leadership’s broader engineering-education research, published through ASEE and the IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference, informs how we design, deliver and assess our programs.
