CREATE Mini Conference 2025

Please join us at CREATE's 10th Mini Conference on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. We will be at the MSU STEM building for the third year and are grateful to be able to utilize this wonderful space for our program. 

It will be a different format this year (TBA), but we're planning on one poster session, a keynote from Dr. Noah Weeth Feinstein, a panel response to his talk, and as in the past, lunch will be provided.

ELeVATE: Investigating How Students Build an Integrated Understanding of Energy Over Time

The Energy project was a four-year, $1.5 million project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). This project was a collaboration between CREATE for STEM Institute at Michigan State University, the Leibniz-Institute for Science and Mathematics Education (IPN) in Germany, and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel.
