Why Science is Vital in Afterschool Programs
Informal environments beyond the school day promote flexibility that lets children engage in science in the same way they play sports or create art. Playing with bubbles, blocks, robots and plants not only helps students when it comes time to learn physics, chemistry and biology—but it also sparks an interest in science that translates to future classroom and career success.
The Coalition for Science After School strives to make science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) integral components of afterschool programming, bringing together the experience and commitment of hundreds of individuals and organizations to improve the quality and quantity of STEM learning opportunities.
