Leaping into Science in North Carolina
|
|
|
|
|
| |
In 2007, the esteemed Franklin Institute Science Museum in Philadelphia launched its Leap into Science program. With the aim of improving skills in science and literacy for kids aged 3 to 10, the Institute developed a curriculum expressly designed to be taught outside traditional classrooms. Instead of relying just on teachers in schools, Leap into Science reaches underserved students and their families right in their own communities at libraries and museums as well as schools. In 2020 shortly before COVID changed everything, a group of organizations in North Carolina received a grant to launch Leap into Science in North Carolina. In this month's edition of the NC STEM ScoreCard, read how educators continue to bring STEM education to geographically-disadvantaged and underserved students by adopting the Leap into Science program.
