The Exploratorium’s XTech Program: Engaging STEM Experiences for Middle-School Youth - Summative Evaluation Report

September 1, 2009 | Public Programs
The Exploratorium is home to XTech, a science education program which began in 2006 and was primarily funded by a three-year National Science Foundation grant (Award # 05-25217) through its ITEST (Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers) initiative. XTech provided project-based afterschool activities in science, engineering, and technology to underserved middle school students from the San Francisco Bay Area. As part of the Exploratorium's Community Outreach department, XTech involved partnerships with two community-based organizations in the Bay Area "Aim High and First Graduate" that support youth in educational pursuits.
