President's Message

Welcome to NCSSSMST. We are now into our third decade of transforming mathematics, science, and technology education by creating a broad network of intellectual capital that drives our mission.

As you visit our member schools’ websites, browse our online publications and resources, and consider the NCSSSMST mission statement, you will realize that the strength of our organization is its willingness to engage bold ideas about mathematics and science education. For us to truly transform STEM teaching and learning, I invite you to take an active role in the transformative work of NCSSSMST. You might:

• Consider serving on the NCSSSMST Board of Directors;
• Offer your school as a host site for an NCSSSMST event, such as a Summer Institute or Student Research Conference;
• Contribute to the NCSSSMST Journal; or
• Coordinate a regional summer program for middle school students.

I urge the members of the NCSSSMST community – students, faculty, staff – to join our ambitious, mission-driven work.

I am pleased and privileged to serve as the NCSSSMST president, and I look forward to our collaboration.

Karen Pikula
NCSSSMST President
