Crafting Engagement in Science Environments was a five-year, $3.6 million research grant funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The focus of this international project is to boost interest and engagement in science for all students, and to provide students with the skills and opportunities to pursue science in the future.
The Crafting Engagement in Science Environments project is a collaboration between researchers and teachers in the U.S. and in Finland. Its purpose is to increase student engagement and interest in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Project partners are developing and implementing a new set of learning materials for high school physics and chemistry classes in both countries. In particular, they want to allow and encourage all students, including underrepresented groups of students, to pursue STEM learning.
CESE aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) criteria for three-dimensional learning.
