“We live in uncertain times,” says Punya Mishra, associate dean of Scholarship and Innovation and professor at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College. He is not, necessarily, referring to the last tumultuous year of 2020, but instead references how emerging technologies, globalization and climate change will affect how all of us live and learn.

Ariel Anbar and Punya Mishra are the principal investigators for “The Future Substance of STEM Education,” a research project based at ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College. Anbar is a President’s Professor in ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration and School of Molecular Sciences, and an affiliate faculty member of MLFTC, where Mishra is associate dean of scholarship and innovation. Their National Science Foundation-funded research project brought together faculty members from universities from across the nation for a weeklong workshop in October.
