Strengthening STEM Learning: Creating Impact through Collaborative Programs
Strengthening STEM Learning: Creating Impact through Collaborative Programs
Session ID#: 249703
Session Description:
"Science Connects Us" when STEM education and outreach programs serve as a dynamic platform for connecting learners of all ages. These programs go beyond simply sharing scientific achievement and instead consider the vast societal impact of earth, space and ocean science research. An example of these impacts is the reach of NASA's Science Activation program, which is currently in it's 10th year of supporting students, educators (formal and informal) and subject matter experts in collaborating on authentic science learning experiences. In 2024, Science Activation had 48 active teams and infrastructure programs which resulted in 119.3 million learner interactions, many in support of the 2024 eclipse. We invite proposals from formal or informal educational programs that focus on results and demonstrate the connective power of science, and celebrate the "awe" with which we conduct and share our work.
