SciMathMN and Ignite Afterschool are hosting their 2nd Biennial Joint Conference. This year the joint conference will be held at the University of Minnesota Continuing Education Center from November 29-30.
Conference Tracks
- Investigate – the “what and why” of effective STEM and afterschool learning. Key focus areas will include ways to create meaningful learning experiences for youth both in and out of school, the importance of helping youth build a healthy “STEM identity”, issues of access and equity in education, and how STEM and afterschool learning can address our future workforce needs.
- Connect – with each other while learning about successful collaborations, partnerships and policies that close gaps in young people’s access to and achievement in high quality afterschool and STEM learning opportunities.
- Advance – high quality afterschool and STEM learning opportunities for youth. A key focus will be on effective practices and curriculum that empower and inspire youth and bring our math and science standards to life.
