SUMMARY:Scaling STEM Equitably: Practitioner Driven Reflections and Emerging Guidelines
DESCRIPTION:Scaling STEM Equitably: Practitioner Driven Reflections and Emerging Guidelines \nIn May 2023\, practitioners across the informal STEM landscape gathered in Washington\, D.C.\, to challenge the ways we conventionally scale informal STEM programs and collaboratively brainstorm new paths forward that center equity. Now\, a year later\, we will share a set of emerging guidelines and a new tool that supports equitable approaches to scaling informal STEM programs. To learn more about the project and findings\, visit the webpage. \nJoin the National Girls Collaborative Project\, Education Development Center\, and practitioners across informal STEM learning spaces to hear reflections from the field on the challenges and opportunities of engaging in equity-centered scaling. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:NGCP Celebrates Citizen Science
DESCRIPTION:Help NGCP contribute to one million acts of science this April! \nCitizen science is open to ALL and involves curious people whose individual acts contribute to a collective impact that is accelerating scientific research\, discoveries\, and local actions that improve the world. Join NGCP to learn how you can get involved with citizen science and join the One Million Acts of Science campaign. \nCitizen science is science for everyone! Specifically\, citizen science is when the public voluntarily helps conduct scientific research. From sharing photos of nature to help scientists document biodiversity to browsing images on your computer to help speed up research about Alzheimer’s disease\, each of these acts of science is important. Join NGCP\, Montana State University\, and SciStarter for this exciting webinar to hear examples of citizen science projects\, gain ideas and resources for getting involved with projects\, and learn how girls and other groups historically marginalized in science can benefit from participation in these programs. We hope you will join us to celebrate Citizen Science Month (April 2024)\, work to broaden participation in the sciences and support scientific research! \n\nSciStarter Citizen Science Month\nLibraries as Hubs for Citizen Science\nNational Citizen and Community Science Network\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:How Programs Are Leveraging ESSER Funds to Support Afterschool and Summer Learning
DESCRIPTION:Join the Afterschool Alliance for the next Engage Every Student webinar on February 22\, 2024\, for a presentation on the recently released report “Investments in Student Recovery: A Review of School Districts’ Use of American Rescue Plan Funding to Support Afterschool and Summer Opportunities.” In late January 2025\, school districts and states will face the liquidation deadline for more than $120 billion America Rescue Plan ESSER III funds. How have these funds been used to date in support of comprehensive afterschool and summer enrichment programs? How have school-community partnerships been leveraged to support students when school is out? What opportunities persist to build partnerships\, maximize remaining funds\, and ensure afterschool and summer programs can engage every student once the funding deadline passes?\n\nThe report digs into these questions and more! It finds that eight in 10 districts invested in afterschool and summer programs — representing more than $5.4 billion. Following an overview of the report\, participants will learn how various school districts are leveraging ESSER funds to support students through afterschool and summer learning programs.\n\nRegister
