The STEM Resource Center (SRC) maintains a library of materials for area educators at every grade level and content area, including lesson plans, books and articles for professional development, and a wealth of hands-on and demonstration materials such as discrepant events, models, and Vernier equipment which may be borrowed or purchased.  There is a lab available to work on small research projects, “test-drive” curriculum activities and prepare materials for outreach programs. The center also maintains a classroom which is designed to be flexible in use for both traditional lectures and hands-on inquiry learning.  The intent is to develop this space to better model instructional techniques and enable more in-depth educational research.

The Resource Center is open to the public.  Staff consultation is available Monday through Thursday until 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM.  Staff is happy to meet at other times by appointment including early evenings to accommodate teacher schedules.  Please call for more information or appointments at 618-650-3065.
