This is the final report of the Informal Science Education (ISE) supplemental two year NSF grant for the partnership between CCI Solar Fuels and Westside Science Club that ran between October 2012 and July 2014. After a brief program overview and goals, it lists the program components. Then it traces the history of each partner, including a partnership with Wildwood High School in Santa Monica, and LA Makerspace. Each section also briefly outlines the evaluation performed by a professional evaluator. The program will continue with a partnership with a local Pasadena, CA museum called Kidspace, as outlined in the final section. There are several appendices: A) outlines the original tasks and their state of completion; B) a model for chemistry based ISE is proposed for future center based outreach projects; C) the full evaluation report is included – shorter details are abstracted in sections on each partner in the main report; and D) a list of all the lessons that were planned and executed during the program is included in a separate document.
