Connected Science Learning is a journal that highlights STEM education experiences that bridge the gap between in-school and out-of-school settings. The online journal features downloadable articles about highly effective programs and shares research that connects preK–12 STEM learning in schools and out-of-school settings, specifically highlighting effective mechanisms for collaboration and co-creation. The journal is supported with funding from the National Science Foundation and is a collaboration of NSTA and the Association of Science Technology Centers.
RSVP by February 18.
