2025 ACSME theme: Shaping the future with STEM education

How does the teaching we do shape the future of our students? How does an education in STEM help our students shape the future?

As we hit the midpoint of a critical decade, we will consider our responsibilities as STEM educators to our students, to society and the planet we all share. What are (or could be) the impacts of a STEM education? How can our learning and teaching practices respond to or drive change? We look forward to grappling with these curly questions and more at ACSME 2025.

We will be accepting both refereed and non-refereed papers and all refereed papers will be subject to peer review.
