Full STEM Ahead: Afterschool Programs Step Up as Key Partners in STEM Education, describes parental attitudes and perceptions of STEM programming in their child’s after-school setting.
Abstract
The America After 3PM survey is the nation’s most comprehensive household survey of how children spend the hours after school and asks parents and guardians of school-age children in the United States about availability and access to after-school programs. The 2014 survey, which followed prior surveys conducted in 2004 and 2009, reveals that over the past decade, the number of children in after-school programs has grown from 6.5 million to more than 10 million. Parents of an additional 19.4 million children would enroll their children in a program if one were available to them.
