About Us
The INSPIRE Research Institute for Pre-College Engineering is a research center in the School of Engineering Education (the world's first) at Purdue University focusing on pre-college engineering education research and integration with science, technology, mathematics and literacy.
INSPIRE is composed of faculty, staff, postdoctoral researchers, graduate and undergraduate research assistants on a mission to study pre-college engineering experiences and environments in order to impact educational systems. INSPIRE's research informs the development of curricula, assessment instruments, teacher and parent education, museum exhibits, afterschool programs, and STEM education policy within the full spectrum of P-12 engineering education.
