Through a grant from the Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Education Grants Program, the STEM Center was established at a community college in Northern California. The STEM Center integrated all STEM student support services within STEM academic study. Through leveraging multiple grants, the STEM Center provides a set of comprehensive student support services, including study groups, tutoring, STEM-specific academic counseling and career exploration, and information on internships and scholarships.

There are many cases in literature about the use ofclickers as an immediate feedback system. The clicker itself is neither a tool to directlyteach concepts, nor it is meant to replace quality lesson preparation and planning. Theclicker is a powerful tool to augment and enhance active learning in classroom, and mostimportantly, it is a mean to provide accurate situational awareness to the instructor.However, implementing this solution is usually expensive, since it costs about US$ 50each one.
