Who We Are
The David F. Robitaille International STEM Education Network is committed to research and community engagement for innovative, connected, holistic, and responsive ways of teaching and learning mathematics, science, and technology in education.
Our STEM research and projects reach urban and international contexts, across age levels from early childhood to adults and parents, involving in-school and out-of-school settings, and collaborating with historically under-representative communities such as Indigenous and rural communities.

High Praise from Families:
- Really enjoyed the games and gave us new ideas for our family to incorporate math.
- We had a great time! I had only intended to try a couple of the workshops but my daughter insisted that we did more.
- I thought it was very well thought out and I love the global participation (presenters and participants).
- We liked learning new games that we can play again at home and share with our other family members. It was nice to have a relaxed atmosphere where others had their videos on and had the freedom to unmute and participate. I could tell that this environment engaged my daughter.
- Learning how to count to 5 in Nsyilxcen (Indigenous language) was super cool!
- It was fun to do problems that were a challenge for all of us, but not too challenging for the youngest of us.
- The hardest part was choosing just which workshop to attend.
- A wonderful event attending as a family doing math on a Saturday morning in our pyjamas.
