Posters from the 2016 NSF AISL PI Meeting

Posters presented at the NSF Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) Principal Investigators’ Meeting held in Bethesda, MD from February 29-March 2, 2016 are now available for viewing. Principal Investigators and meeting attendees displayed and discussed more than 150 posters, representing a wide variety of AISL-funded projects  during the meeting.The posters below are loosely organized by the Learning Environment where the project is centered  (Media & Technology; Public Programs; Exhibitions; etc), are connected to the associated project’s abstract and P.I. information, and are arranged alphabetically by title.
