Our mission is to meet the
challenge of improving STEM (Science, Engineering, Technology, and Mathematics)
education in the nation by (1) conducting educational research on teaching and
learning of STEM and (2) providing external evaluation services for K-14 STEM educational
programs. Based on our extensive and in-depth experience, mainly through
Robofest (www.robofest.net), we specialize in evaluations of
robotics, IT, mathematics, programming, and computer science projects.
Our philosophy for program evaluation
is as follows:
o To provide original and
existing web-based program evaluation surveys to assess youth learning before
and after implementing of a STEM educational program.
o To build and maintain web-based
database tools for data collection, analysis, visualization, and assessment
utilizing the state-of-the-art statistical software.
o To provide evaluation
reports at all stages of the program to check program processes and stated
goals.
o In addition to
traditional program
evaluation activities, we can provide technical support and consulting
in robotics, math, IT, computing, and computer science, as needed, to improve a
STEM educational program.
