Abstract

When ExpandED Schools, a nonprofit based in New York, began planning a new STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) initiative three years ago, it started by taking a closer look at the existing science programming happening in its network of afterschool programs. As an intermediary, ExpandED supports out-of-school-time (OST) programs by serving as a connection-maker and coordinator among community-based organizations, schools, funders, staff, and government players. It provides professional development and coaching to afterschool providers and works with stakeholders throughout the informal education landscape to identify and address the needs of the field as a whole. In 2015 ExpandED saw that one of those needs was a more strategic approach to science education in afterschool.
