About Us

The Center for Social Equity through Science Education C(SE)² originated from the Center for Restructuring Education in Science and Technology (CREST). The reboot of the center to C(SE)² has been supported by the Donna R. and David E. Sterling Endowment in Science Education.

C(SE)² continues the legacy of CREST by supporting students and teachers in the pursuit of rigorous science education for all through educational research. C(SE)^2 also extends this legacy by conducting philanthropic activities to support science education in communities with the most need.

Mission

The center for Social Equity through Science Education is a group of researchers, educators, and university students who are dedicated to helping all people to have a richer understanding of science. We intend to do this through two strands of effort: research and outreach. Our research strand answers questions about innovative ways to teach and learn science, strategies for all students to become science-minded, and models of effective inclusive STEM schools. We conduct outreach activities so that we can help K-12 students have the academic and material resources that they need to be successful learners.
