2021 Poster - Stimulating STEM in the City: Co-Designing with Latine Families to Promote Informal STEM Learning

Children spend 80% of their waking hours outside of school in the community. Deep inequities exist in access to high quality informal STEM learning opportunities (museums, zoos, safe and beautiful parks).
