Events
CREATE for STEM hosts, sponsors and supports STEM education happenings around MSU. We are working to help bring attention to STEM education related events around the country; please let us know if there are any conferences, workshops, etc... that you would like posted on the CREATE Events page and we will do our best to help.
Our first speaker for the 25-26 series was Dr. Sara Vogel from CUNY in September, and we are working on bringing in two other STEM education research leaders in spring of 2026.
Too, we are developing a new series that will give opportunities to junior researchers to share their work, offer support and advice, and allow for open conversation around current research projects. Watch for information about the spring dates for this initiative.
