2021 ITEST PI Virtual Conference Online Program
The National Science Foundation and the STEM Learning and Research Center, resource center for the NSF ITEST Program, welcomed all active ITEST projects to attend the 2021 ITEST Principal Investigator Meeting on September 22-24.
This unique online event focused on our theme of Reconsiderando Equitable STEM Learning Through Technology Innovation: Pandemic Challenges and Opportunities and called upon our community to identify the challenges—and opportunities—experienced in STEM education. Each day featured inspiring presentations, engaging speakers, and rich conversations designed to generate solutions that will improve our work and inform the field. We invite you to review the recordings from the event by clicking the icon next to each speaker, and to view our archive of the poster presentations submitted by projects in advance of the conference.
