Science in California’s Public After-School Programs: New Insights Provide Guidance for Improvements
How can students keep learning science when the school day ends? The informal environments of after-school programs are a natural fit for hands-on science and developing inquiry skills—such as posing questions, designing scientific investigations, and creating explanations based on observations. After-school programs have the potential to boost students’ interest in science, technology, engineering and math…
