Working with Diverse Afterschool STEM Audiences
- 3. Coalition for Science After School • To increase quality and quantity of science for all youth in afterschool, summer, and out-of- school settings • To bridge the afterschool, STEM education and scientific communities
- 4. POLL How would you rate your familiarity/comfort with the topic of engaging diverse audiences? (1)Expert: Familiar with research, best practices and resources and have experience with under-represented groups. (2)So-so: Somewhat familiar with research and resources. Limited experience. (3)Beginner: Unfamiliar with research and resources with no significant experience.

- 21. Research-based promising practices (3) Make activities relevant 826 National
- 22. Research-based promising practices (4) Involve community and family – Make activity relevant – Fosters support for STEM – Reinforces STEM identity
- 23. Research-based promising practices (5) Adult role models and mentors – Culturally sensitive – Highlight an attainable path to STEM – Need to overcome challenges 826 National
- 24. Research-based promising practices (6) Promote learning by addressing stereotype threat 826 National
