Over the 2020-2021 school year--one of the most difficult years for educators--the QUBES project ran 13 Faculty Mentoring Networks, bringing together more than 150 faculty to connect over a broad common goal: to improve the student experience in today’s STEM classrooms.
Participants explored how they could incorporate and teach new skill sets, how they could give students hands-on research experiences, how the data and models used could be made more relevant, inclusive, data-driven, and much, much more.
We look forward to the next cohort of FMNs and can't wait to see what they accomplish.

Individual faculty and partnering projects contribute teaching resources for others to adopt, adapt, and implement in their own courses. QUBES supports Open Education Practices that make it free to use, modify, and repost materials with attribution, increasing the utility and value of the original materials.
BrowseStudents can run free modeling and statistical software through their browser, eliminating the need to purchase or install software locally. Instructors can customize activities and datasets to fit their courses, minimizing logistical barriers between students and the course concepts.

We believe in the power of collective impact. We create opportunities for professional societies, curriculum projects, and STEM Ed researchers to join with and support educators.
ExploreWe recognize that moving quantitative biology education forward requires a community that works together to achieve its goals. QUBES supports community members by providing an open and inclusive virtual space for sharing quantitative classroom activities and resources, discussing teaching and the adaptation of educational materials to specific institutional contexts, and working together to develop new ideas and insights. We also connect educators with opportunities through our broader network in STEM Education, broadening the impact of quantitative biology education curriculum and research projects, conferences, and other initiatives.
