Afterschool Webinar:

About this webinar:

How can we understand and measure the true impact of afterschool STEM experiences?  What role do such programs play in the larger STEM learning ecosystem to strengthen young people’s learning and development outcomes in STEM?  In this webinar we will hear about three innovative efforts —Connected Learning, Activated Learner, and Longitudinal— that are studying how learning, including STEM learning, develops across time and space, and how afterschool programs contribute to that process.
