Hello!
The Intrepid Museum Sea, Air and Space Museum, the Education Development Center, and the National Girls Collaborative Project are collaborating on the STEM Effect project, supported by the National Science Foundation. The goal of this project is to develop a research and action agenda for better understanding the long-term impacts of STEM programs for middle- and high-school age girls offered by cultural organizations (museums, science centers, aquaria, botanical gardens, or zoos). To help us develop the action agenda, we are currently gathering information from key stakeholder groups to help ensure that the action agenda is informed by their perspectives and grounded in education practice.
If your institution is running a girl-focused STEM program we'd love to hear more about it!
Email STEMeffect4girls@gmail.com and tell us who you are, the name of your program and a description or the web link where we can find out more. We'd love it if you could share examples of existing logic models/evaluation approaches.
JOIN THE CONVERSATION!
Join us for a Twitter chat on Wednesday, April 24th at 2pm ET to discuss the opportunities, challenges, and practices for designing informal STEM programs for middle and high-school aged girls at cultural organizations.
The hash tag will be #STEMEffect RSVP for Chat HERE or on Facebook
