ED11B:
STEM Education and Outreach: Building Effective Research Collaboration Models I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 59297

Session Description:
Effective geoscience education research and STEM outreach models require partnerships and collaborative efforts between geoscience education researchers, teaching practitioners, scientists, engineers, and/or science communicators.  This session seeks to report the characteristics and lessons learned from a variety of collaborative models from grant funded projects that contain education research and/or outreach components across a diverse set of communities (K-12, 2YC, 4YC, informal institution and community groups, individual citizens).  The broader goal of this session is to provide the community with a forum to explore evidence-based practices for strengthening the scale and impact of future education and outreach projects, as well as provide a venue for individuals to identify future collaborators.
