This workshop was recorded on 4-15-2025
During this online workshop, we explored the importance of relevance in STEM learning experiences. We started with an introduction to the principles of relevance, sharing strategies found to be successful during a study of place-based learning in the NISE Network's STEM Learning Ecosystems project. We also talked about the process of approaching your community to find out what is truly relevant to your audiences. Finally, we heard from NISE Network partners already co-creating with their communities to engage audiences more meaningfully in STEM.
Presenters included:
Darrell Porcello, Director of National STEM Networks, Children's Creativity Museum, San Francisco, CA
Allison Anderson, Research & Evaluation Associate, Museum of Science, Boston, MA
Peregrine Bratschi, Associate Program Manager: Humanity & Life Sciences, Museum of Life and Science, Durham, NC
