Research currently being conducted at the CEEO revolves around its core of graduate students who are part of the Math, Science, Technology, and Engineering (STEM) Education program at Tufts University. The overarching focus of all the graduate students' projects is improving technological literacy for all ages at all levels of education, including teachers themselves. The CEEO typically has five to ten active research projects at any given time, the majority of which are funded through the National Science Foundation (NSF).
