Center for STEM Education at Northeastern University

The Center for STEM Education at Northeastern University is a university-wide center which aspires to serve as the connecting link between all the university's science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) departments and the School of Education. The main goal of the center is to play a key role in shaping the GK-20 STEM education vision at Northeastern University and put the university on the national map in this field.

This will be accomplished in part by consolidating and coordinating existing outreach programs and by creating new ones that will have a significant impact on the STEM pipeline, on STEM teaching and learning in GK-20, on GK-12 STEM outreach, and on STEM education research.

Boston Science Partnership

The Boston Science Partnership is an NSF-funded program bringing together Northeastern University, University of Massachusetts Boston and Boston Public Schools with the aim of raising student achievement in science beginning with the 6th grade and continuing  through the university level.

G-K 12 Plus at Northeastern University

The GK-12 Plus program supports fellowships and associated training that enable graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines to acquire additional skills that will broadly prepare them for professional and scientific careers in the 21st century. Through interactions with teachers in K-12 schools, graduate students can improve communication and teaching skills while enriching STEM instruction in K-12 schools.

North Shore Science Partnership at Northeastern University

The North Shore Science Partnership, a collaboration between the Revere, Somerville, and Saugus Public Schools, and Northeastern University, is a new program funded by the Massachusetts Department of Education offering middle and high school science and math teachers an intensive course of study leading to the completion of 8 out of 10 of the courses required in Northeastern University's Masters of Education in Middle School Science program. Teachers have the option of taking individual courses as needed.

NSF STEP-UP at Northeastern University

This five-year science, technology, engineering, and mathematics talent expansion program and university partnership (STEP-UP) seeks to increase the number of students receiving degrees in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) disciplines. The program will include STEM students from Northeastern University and collaborating community colleges MassBay Community College, Middlesex Community College, and Northern Essex Community College with a special focus on recruiting and retaining traditionally underrepresented students in STEM studies in order to help them advance from one level to the next on the pathway to graduation and a successful career.  The program is supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

RE-SEED at Northeastern University

RE-SEED (Retirees Enhancing Science Education through Experiments and Demonstrations) is a Northeastern University program that prepares engineers, scientists, and other individuals with science backgrounds to work as volunteers, providing in-classroom support to upper elementary and middle school science teachers with teaching the physical sciences.
