2021 Poster – Fostering STEAM: Designing art-science activities with equity and access in mind

December 7th, 2021 | RESEARCH

This poster was presented at the 2021 NSF AISL Awardee Meeting.

Many informal learning institutions use STEAM approaches to engage diverse learners. Our project aims to support educators in libraries, museums, and after school programs through a STEAM professional development (PD) series. Our PD approach is centered around a set of core STEAM practices that prioritize STEAM mindset and identity work. Participants engage in exemplar activities and design new experiences for their specific teaching and learning contexts. The series involves in- person sessions, online training, and team coaching during the design phase.
