Triangle Coalition For Science And Technology Education

The mission of the Stokes Institute is to expand opportunity for low-income, first-generation, and minority students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Its goals are to increase the capacity of educators to assist these students in achieving success in STEM disciplines, and to grow the STEM educational pipeline.

To meet the mission and goals, we focus on Professional Development, Program Development, and Research to build capacity in STEM education for college access and retention programs.

The Stokes Institute Provides

• Information and resources for educators to support teaching and learning in mathematics and science for disadvantaged students participating in TRIO and other college opportunity programs;
• Resources for parents and students to actively engage in STEM study;
• Training in curriculum development and advice in meeting STEM education standards for program administrators, teachers, and counselors;
• STEM education best practices study and dissemination.
