Education and Outreach Possibilities
Florida State University currently offers educators and students an array of programs that advance science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
For more information on current STEM outreach and education initiatives visit:
The Office of Science Teaching Activities is dedicated to providing sustained support for science and mathematics teaching and learning partnerships throughout the University and K-12 education systems. By connecting partners with effective strategies, practices, and resources, the Office of Science Teaching Activities seeks to foster and maintain active engagement in high quality science and mathematics instruction to increase science and mathematcics literacy for all.
The Florida State University Center for Undergraduate Research and Academic Engagement (CRE) is committed to helping students become accomplished scholars and active citizens—people of character who can drive innovation and enrich our society. To that end, the CRE supports the engagement of FSU undergraduates--from every major--in research and creative projects under the mentorship of FSU faculty.
The Magnet Lab has a strong commitment to education. Through the Center for Integrating Research & Learning (CIRL), the lab supports educational programming at all academic levels: K-12, technical, undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral.
The Florida Center for Research in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (FCR–STEM) is a multidisciplinary research center created by the Florida Legislature and competitively awarded to Florida State University in 2007.
The center’s mission is to help the State of Florida improve STEM teaching and learning in grades K-12 and prepare students for higher education and STEM careers in the 21st century.
Since its inception, the center has been awarded more than $80 million in contracts and grants for research and development projects, worked with thousands of Florida’s principals and teachers, and partnered with all of Florida’s 67 school districts.
The FSU-Teach program allows undergraduate students to pursue a degree in degree in Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Geoscience, Mathematics or Physics AND earn a second major in secondary teaching at the same time.
Many researchers include FSU-Teach students in their projects as a way to both involve undergraduates, and have a future impact on K-12 students. This is looked upon favorably by NSF reviewers.
The Women in Math, Science & Engineering Program is an undergraduate living-learning community for women in STEM majors. WIMSE is committed to the success of women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
WIMSE students are a possible opportunity to conduct outreach to an under-represented group in your CAREER proposal.
