Dr. Carol Tang, Executive Director at the Children’s Creativity Museum and former Director of the Coalition for Science After School, gave an interview on STEM and the importance after school plays in engaging students in STEM for the Learning in Afterschool & Summer Blog: Quality STEM and Afterschool. Dr. Tang “strongly believe(s) that out-of-school time offers a unique opportunity to engage youth in STEM learning… Afterschool programs and their staff are already aware of children’s individual interests and learning styles and they are prepared for the daily challenge of delivering engaging programming.” Dr. Tang also reviews the overall benefits STEM curriculums add to afterschool programming but also to society as a whole. Society depends on all creativity and talents from every community and many urban and rural communities lack access to both classroom and out-of-school time STEM enrichments.
