This session focuses on the goals for informal science and engineering learning across different settings identities of learners, ages, and how such goals are being met. Panelists will discuss how different goals have informed practice, evaluation, and research, how differing goals have shaped the focus Convocation on the Status of Informal Science and Engineering Education on different learners, and how the infrastructure for informal science and engineering learning environments influences these goals and outcomes.
TERC stands as a beacon of hope that it’s possible to do really cool things in the classroom.”
