REESE Event Highlights Research

Research in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Education

Event at NSF headquarters highlights cutting-edge research

Among NSF's programs supporting basic research into how students learn STEM, and what approaches are most effective in teaching them, is a program called, Research and Evaluation on Education in Science and Engineering (REESE).

Eleven researchers funded through REESE recently participated in an event at NSF headquarters where they presented information about their ongoing work.

To learn more about the researchers and their projects, go to http://arc.uchicago.edu/reese/nsf-poster-reception.shtml
