The University of Texas at Austin STEM Center supports the teaching/learning of STEM subjects and provides professional development for STEM teachers across Texas.
The UT STEM Center is an intellectual hub that brings together a diverse set of constituencies interested in improving teaching and learning in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics). Our commitment to equity, access, and social justice informs all of the work we do. We build collaborative teams comprised of teachers, community members, district administrators, university researchers, philanthropists, business, and civic leaders to (1) design and carry out cutting edge research in STEM Education, (2) promote equity and access to STEM learning opportunities, (3) provide high quality professional development to practicing STEM Teachers and (4) disseminate research findings, products, and instructional innovations to all parties working to improve STEM Education in Texas and throughout the U.S.

The mission of the STEM Center is to improve the teaching and learning of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) by providing support for, and fostering collaboration among, researchers interested in conducting externally-funded interdisciplinary research on STEM teaching and learning, the conditions that influence it, and innovations that can maximize it. The STEM Center serves as an intellectual hub where researchers and practitioners are able to learn about the latest developments in STEM education research and practice, collaborate with each other to design and carry out research and service projects that will improve the teaching and learning of STEM, and then work together to share new ideas, products, and findings.
