The onset of the pandemic-related shutdowns coincided with the first semester of the implementation of the Collaborating Across Boundaries to Engage Undergraduates in STEM Literacy project, an NSF-supported research effort designed to expand upon and evaluate a model for improving students’ science literacy, civic engagement and collaboration skills through interdisciplinary, community-engaged teaching collaborations.
