Center for Innovation in Informal STEM Learning

The Center for Innovation in Informal STEM Learning is dedicated to improving how people across generations learn science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The center works with informal learning organizations, such as museums and libraries, to facilitate public education and conduct applied research.

Center projects examine space exploration, climate and environment, socio-technical change, responsible innovation, citizen science, and storytelling. With strong expertise in science communication, the center animates STEM learning, builds literacy among participants, and democratizes science and technology education.
