About Conference
Welcome to the 6th Annual RGV STEM Education Conference. February 15 - 17, 2023.
The College of Education and P-16 Integration and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley welcome you to the 2023 STEM Education Conference, Building Interdisciplinary Collaborations in STEM Education: Toward Transformative Practices. We will continue to provide an intentional space that brings everyone involved in P-20 STEM education together. This includes higher education faculty, P-12 educators and administrators, informal educators, and P-12 students. We will continue transforming STEM education through critical dialogue, dissemination, and implementation of best practices, research, and policy.
A fundamental goal of this conference is to ensure that all STEM educators are prepared to successfully implement best practices in STEM education, from preschool to college. This conference is for those who have a willingness to have discussions around difficult conversations about what is transpiring in STEM classrooms and how to unpack how our presence, actions, and inactions contribute to the sociocultural landscape and influence those around us.
Through this conference experience, you will join a growing movement of local, national, and international group of STEM education scholars, innovators, and challengers that are committed and ready to enact equitable practices. You will leave this conference inspired and armed with the latest research, knowledge, and best practices to transform STEM education.
Building Interdisciplinary Collaborations in STEM Education: Toward Transformative Practices
With an overarching focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, this conference brings together educators to discuss STEM education research and how they are applied in P-20 learning environments. This hybrid conference will:
- Share current research within disciplinary and interdisciplinary STEM contexts!
- Facilitate discussions between researchers, educators, and students
- Promote collaborations and partnerships from local to international
