The STEM Education Center

The STEM Education Center is an exciting place to be. Armed with a team of experts and visionaries, the Center will help address a critical shortage of math and science teachers and improve the preparedness of teachers in primary and secondary schools.

The Center focuses on the following areas:

Teaching Degrees and Licensure

WPI offers a truly unique opportunity for students and in-service teachers. Not only do our students become part of a rigorous academic program in STEM-related fields, they also prepare for a teaching career that uses innovative leading-edge pedagogy methods.

Our Partners

WPI has built one of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive K–12 outreach programs with gifts from many wise and generous friends such as Edna and Douglas Noiles ’44, whose leadership gift in 2003 established the WPI Office of K–12 Outreach. Others too have stepped up to the challenge of increasing technological literacy among our teachers and students.
