About this opportunity

This special joint NLG-Libraries and NLG-Museums initiative invites proposals for research on informal educational approaches that leverage community Math (STEM) professionals in the broadest sense. Funded research projects will create a foundation for reaching children and families from diverse cultural backgrounds, with different levels of knowledge about STEM. We are interested in proposals for design-based research projects that develop and explore models for inquiry-based STEM programs delivered by related technical practitioners (STEM experts) to children ages 6-10 and their families. In particular, proposals should address the role of expert oral narratives ( storytelling, personal histories, and analogies) as part of object-based science inquiry. Proposals should include information about how findings from this research will be applicable in both museum and library settings.
