The UC Davis Center for Integrated Computing and STEM Education (C-STEM) aims to improve computing, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (C-STEM) education in both formal and informal programs in K-14. The goal of the C-STEM Center is to provide computing education for all K-12 students and develop students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills through integrated computing and STEM education. The C-STEM Center studies how to use computing and robotics technology to increase student interest and help them learn STEM subjects with an emphasis on Algebra, the gatekeeper for STEM disciplines. The C-STEM Center also studies how to streamline the curriculum on computing education in the context of STEM subjects in elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as the first two years of college. Through various outreach activities, the C-STEM Center seeks to inspire students to pursue computing and STEM related careers and post-secondary study.

C-STEM Studio is a platform for teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through computing and robotics for integrated learning. It isthe most engaging way to learn math, coding, and robotics,the simplest approach to program a robot,the easiest technology to control multiple robots.C-STEM Studio is a user-friendly platform for using the C-STEM integrated curriculum by university faculty and students, K-12 teachers and students, parents, volunteers, etc. It is integrated with the breakthrough educational computing and robotics technologies for learning STEM subjects, includingC/C++ interpreter ChLinkbot LabsCh Linkbot ControllerCh Mindstorms Package and Robot Controller for Lego Mindstorms NXT/EV3RoboSimRoboBlocklyArduinoC-STEM Studio also includes the code, comprehensive documentations and textbooks used in the C-STEM curriculum. C-STEM Studio is the only platform in existence that can be easily used to control multiple Linkbots, NXT, and EV3 in a single program with only a few lines of C/C++ code. Students can learn STEM subjects by solving complex real-world problems with coding and robotics.C-STEM Studio is specially designed for instructors to organize diverse teaching resources and for students to conduct computer homework assignments conveniently in formal computer teaching labs.C-STEM Studio is provided free of charge.
