STEM Education 2.0 discusses the most recent research on important selected K-12 STEM topics by synthesizing previous research and offering new research questions. The contributions range from analysis of key STEM issues that have been studied for more than two decades to topics that have more recently became popular, such as maker space and robotics. In each chapter, nationally and internationally known STEM experts review key literature in the field, share findings of their own research with its implications for K-12 STEM education, and finally offer future research areas and questions in the respected area they have been studying. This volume provides diverse and leading voices in the future of STEM education and STEM education research.

"This edited collection explores the current state of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, primarily in the US, covering the breadth of STEM education, including the often- overlooked areas of technology and engineering. Most chapters are written as reviews of previous research on key aspects of STEM education (e.g., diversity and inclusion, integrated learning, and project-based curricula) with some original research also included. The contributing authors represent a broad cross section of educational researchers working in this field, bringing a variety of expertise to the volume. Perhaps the greatest strength of the collection is each chapter's references to current literature. However, the book would have benefited from stronger editing to help connect each chapter to the overall theme rather than the somewhat scattershot approach of alternating between reviews and new research. This text's primary audiences are graduate students, researchers, and practitioners, who can use the individual chapters as reference points for situating current and future research projects. Advanced undergraduates wanting an entrée into the research areas mentioned will also benefit from this collection." - R. A. Kolvoord, James Madison University in CHOICE 57:11 (2020).
