Increase Your Students’ Success in STEM Education

With Evaluation, Research, Data Analytics & Student Services

You might already be aware that students of color and people from historically marginalized backgrounds are underrepresented in STEM education and in the workforce. 

That’s why services that reveal invisible barriers, lift up students’ unique talents and encourage success in STEM are vital.

Here’s what you might not know: you can’t determine a program’s impact by only measuring superficial demographic variables like age, gender, and socioeconomic status. 

In order to increase the number of students completing STEM degrees and thriving in STEM fields, you need to measure metrics that matter.

That’s where we can help. 

Schedule a 30-minute Consultation

Talk with one of our analysts or researchers about program evaluation, research, or help with analyzing your qualitative or quantitative data. We can help you improve your program performance and measure your impact on STEM education.

The Innovative Learning Center is proud to have the opportunity to serve and grow alongside clients like these:

“I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Dr. Blackmon while I was Project Director with Girls Get IT! We collaborated on a National Science Foundation Grant that was funded and extremely successful in Florida. I don’t believe we would have had the level of effectiveness and success without her knowledge base and understanding of STEM education and gender equity. Our collaboration was special and inspirational. She challenged our team to ensure that all measures we applied were based on sound research and proper evaluation.”
