PI: Dr. Alessandra Pantano

UC Irvine's Math CEO is a free mathematics enrichment program developed by faculty at UC Irvine to serve the underprivileged community of Santa Ana, while developing future teachers of mathematics. For twenty-five times a year, over 130 middle schoolers come to UC Irvine to meet college students, work on fun and challenging mathematics experiences guided by several faculty, graduate and undergraduate mentors and learn about college and STEM careers from experts.
PI: Dr. Sandra Simpkins

The REACH Lab, organized by Dr. Sandra Simpkins, aims to connect families of Latino/a youth to high quality after school programming.
PI: Dr. Kylie Peppler

This study, part of the broader NSF and Wellcome Trust-funded Science Learning + (SL+) project on cultivating creativity and equity in STEM learning, asks the question: How does the materiality of tools and materials shape both learning and participation? In our out-of-school workshops, we are studying a curated set of commercial toolkits that represent the full range of arts-and-sciences approaches targeted at teaching the arts, circuitry and robotics.
