The UC Davis C-STEM Day is organized to build public awareness and advocate for Computing and STEM education. The C-STEM Center has been actively engaged in technology and curriculum development with the support from the NSF to close the achievement gap by broadening participation of students traditionally underrepresented in computing and STEM and to develop students’ computer-aided problem-solving skills to tackle real-world STEM problems.
The C-STEM Day provides a forum for C-STEM affiliated researchers, educators, and students from K-14 schools in more than 30 counties in northern California to showcase their extraordinary STEM work under the theme of Integrating Technology and Engineering into Math and Science Education in the 21st Century.
The 2012 C-STEM Day includes two major activities for STEM educators and their students.
- The 2nd Annual Conference on Computing and STEM Education for STEM educators
- RoboPlay – Robot Challenge Competition for students
