National Museum of Natural History: Science Career Access and Learning Experiences Evaluation Report

April 1, 2019 | Public Programs

With funding from a Smithsonian Institution Youth Access Grant the National Museum of Natural History offered a program pipeline that would engage underserved Washington D.C. students in programming designed to encourage academic and career STEM interest. Beginning with collaboration with community educators, the pipeline funneled students into a Teen Night Out Science Night to interest them in science workshop series offered after school and on weekend and ultimately into volunteer and internship opportunities. This report provides detailed view of methods, analyses, results, and conclusions of each program part and the pipeline as a whole. 

Appendix includes logic model and instruments.
