Community Science Workshops: An Evaluation Portfolio

February 26, 2014 | Public Programs
This portfolio contains the following reports: "Community Science Workshops: A Powerful and Feasible Model for Serving Underserved Youth. An Evaluation Brief"; "Community Science Workshops: Building a Bridge to Science for Urban Youth. A Descriptive Look at CSWs."; "What Do Community Science Workshops Do For Kids? The Benefits to Urban Youth."; and "CSWs by the Numbers: A Statistical Portrait of Community Science Workshops." Community Science Workshops are community-based non-profit programs that offer underserved youth living in low-income, high-minority neighborhoods a fun and safe way to explore their world through science. Community Science Workshops are what the name implies: They are workshops full of equipment and tools, located in mostly urban community spaces, where local youth can explore, investigate, and build—all with the support of caring, knowledgeable adults and in a culture of scientific inquiry and constructive social interaction.
