The ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍøÂ Collaborative for STEM Education and Outreach (CSEO) is dedicated to enhancing literacy in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through the establishment of unique partnerships between University scientists, K-12 educators and students, and the local and global science community. The CSEO has developed and implemented a number of educational programs in partnership with local and national K-12 classrooms. These efforts, funded through a variety of state and national public and private agencies and donations from private individuals and families, have reached thousands of children, supported teachers in residence on the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½¹ÙÍø campus, hosted summer professional development courses and workshops for teachers, offered summer programs for students, and placed teachers and students in research laboratories. As a national leader in outreach efforts, the CSEO is committed to elevating pre-collegiate STEM expertise and literacy.
