Funded Projects
The Center for Innovation in STEM Education serves as a hub to connect Kennesaw researchers, faculty and staff with community collaborators, pure and applied researchers, as well as forward-thinking organizations to serve the purpose of advancing undergraduate and K-12 STEM education.
Accessible Calculus Project
In collaboration with Englewood Public School District, Kennesaw State University, The Algebra Project and the National Society of Black Engineers, The Accessible Calculus Project seeks to refine the Algebra Project’s Polynomial Calculus curriculum modules for high school students; empower teachers, high school students and college students through a deeper understanding of mathematics; improve Algebra II performance at among high school students; and increase the number of Black Engineers by developing the pipelineof interested and well-prepared high school students with the mathematics proficiency needed to successfully complete an undergraduate Engineering degree program.

Computer Science for All
As part of an effort to provide a quality education for all students and to make computer science more accessible, CiSTEMer has invested in supporting Computer Science for All. Through this initiative, Kennesaw State University researchers and partners will work to provide Clayton County Public School teachers with the tools and resources that will allow them to incorporate computer science lessons and activities into their middle school math classes. In addition, Kennesaw State University's Bagwell College of Education will equip undergraduate students the opportunity to serve as Literacy Workers in their classrooms. This allows them to gain experience in the classroom with students, as well as provide support to the teachers with the new curriculum. Led by Dr. Alan Shaw and supported by Dr. Brian Lawler, this research will allow middle school students to learn computer science concepts through applied mathematics.
