Bringing in the Tech: Using Outside Expertise to Enhance Technology Learning in Youth Programs

September 1, 2015 | Public Programs
Afterschool continues to be promoted as a complementary setting to school for strengthening science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education (for example, Krishnamurthi, Bevan, Rinehart, & Coulon, 2013).
