STEM Intelligence (SI)

A Collective Voice Transforming STEM Higher Education

SI is a virtual knowledge translation platform designed to meet U.S. higher education’s growing need for a faculty-driven, HBCU-informed resource for exploring and understanding effective undergraduate STEM education practices. Our mission is to capture, cultivate, and nurture the unique ways of knowing inherent among our nation’s HBCU STEM faculty; and translate them into meaningful ideas, messages, and practices that can be matched, modified, adapted, or scaled to all institutional settings.

Launched in July 2023, SI guides STEM leaders, scholars, and practitioners from all institution types in reflecting on self, combatting the exhaustion of implementation fatigue, navigating the complexities of institutional change, and building on the prior program success of others. Through its rich project- and community-building spaces, SI also provides NSF-funded project leaders with opportunities to showcase, promote, and amplify the processes and outcomes of their work to a broad audience.
