Poster – The Use of Mobile Applications for Informal Science Learning in Parks

March 1st, 2016 | RESEARCH

The objectives of this project are to develop a mobile application to positively impact informal science learning in parks, to test the application in one of the nation’s most visited national parks, to evaluate affective and cognitive outcomes, and to provide enough documentation to be able to sustain replication across parks and STEM content areas. This poster was presented at the 2016 Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) PI Meeting held in Bethesda, MD on February 29-March 2.
