Poster: SCIENCES - Supporting a Community's Informal Education Needs: Confidence and Empowerment in STEM

August 21, 2014 | Public Programs, Professional Development, Conferences, and Networks, Informal/Formal Connections
This poster was presented at the 2014 AISL PI Meeting held in Washington, DC. The project creates a STEM ecosystem in a severely under-resourced urban community. The Chicago Zoological Society, which operates Brookfield Zoo, is expanding a community partnership with Eden Place Nature Center in Chicago’s Fuller Park Neighborhood and offering a full suite of environmental science learning opportunities for teachers, youth, families, and adults. A research component is led by the University of Illinois at Chicago.
