2019 AISL PI Meeting Poster: Fostering STEAM

February 11th, 2019 | RESEARCH

Many informal learning institutions are experimenting with STEAM approaches to engage diverse learners. However, what STEAM means, including how to design and enact STEAM experiences, is undertheorized. We are offering a PD series for informal educators that centers around a set of core STEAM practices that support identity work among learners. The series involves in-person sessions, online training, and team coaching during the design phase.

This poster was presented at the 2019 NSF AISL Principal Investigators Meeting.
