The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC), debuted Connected Science Learning, an online journal for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) educators. The journal bridges in-school and out-of-school STEM learning and showcases highly effective programs, practices, collaborations, and research taking place between these two learning communities.

We are currently experiencing issues with the recording of the Mar 15th  NSF CAREER Program Webinar. We are working with Adobe on resolving the issues and will post the recording as soon as we are able.

In the meantime, slides from the webinar can be found here.

NSF recently announced the initiative NSF INCLUDES (Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science). The goal of NSF INCLUDES is to achieve significant impact at the national scale within the next ten years in transforming STEM so that it is fully and widely inclusive.
