Project Goals
The overarching goal of CREEDS Site is to provide an authentic research environment to STEM enthusiast Middle/High-School educators of the Paso Del Norte region alongside proficient UTEP Computer Science mentors.
This co-learning environment will not only allow local educators to collaborate with UTEP researchers in addressing cyber-related research challenges via a project-based learning (PBL) approach, but also empower their students through the delivery of curricular modules to potentially spark excitement for STEM among Middle / High-School (MHS) students. The exposure to cutting-edge, dynamic, and high-payoff CS areas, such as data science and cybersecurity, will have an early impact on MHS students, raising their awareness about STEM R&D and about the threats and risks of cyberspace.
