Today, the afterschool field has enthusiastically embraced STEM as an integral part of their educational offerings. This handout presents highlights from the research paper "Examining the Impact of Afterschool STEM Programs". It is a useful tool in advocacy efforts to communicate the impact of afterschool STEM programs on youth. [For the full research paper, see ED546628.]
