Based on lessons learned from more than a decade of OST STEM programming for urban youth, Project Exploration proposes an alternative to the pipeline: Youth-Science Pathways. Youth-Science Pathways enable program providers to move beyond āpipelineā priorities to design for outcomes in which STEM learning experiences support young peopleās social and emotional development. Changing the metaphor from a pipeline to pathway transforms the purpose of the educational effort: rather than an endeavor in which studentsā experiences support STEM academic and workforce outcomes, STEM experiences are put to work in the service of youth development.
