Building Capacity to Integrate Science into Afterschool, Home, and Community
Abstract
Founded in honor of Americaâs first great scientist, Benjamin Franklin, The Franklin Institute (TFI) is one of Americaâs oldest and most renowned centers of science education and development in the country. TFI is dedicated to public education and to creating an understanding of and a passion for science and technology. To accomplish this, TFI offers new and innovative ways to access science learning opportunities in the community, throughout the museum, and in digital spaces. Additionally, TFI supports science learning through community-based partnerships such as the Philadelphia Science Festival, LEAP into Science, and the Philadelphia/Camden Informal Science Education Collaborative (PISEC). A recent, innovative example of this commitment is the STEM 3D: Integrating Science into Afterschool, Home, and Community project (STEM 3D).
