The project is funded by a multi-million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Education titled: “A Culturally Responsive Project-Based Learning Intervention in Secondary Science in Alabama and North Carolina”. This project aims to develop and implement culturally responsive, project-based physics and chemistry education in the rural South. This work is in collaboration with MSU professors Barbara Schneider, Joe Krajcik, and Sheneka Williams with partners at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), professors Samantha Strachan and Lena Walton from Alabama A&M University, as well as Lei Zhang and Kenneth Walton from Winston-Salem State University.

This project is being evaluated by Professor Elizabeth Tipton from the STEPP Center at Northwestern University.
