The NASA out-of-school learning (NOSL) network is a stem education and accountability project (SEAP) activity that will be collaboratively managed by three NASA centers (glenn research center langley research center and stennis space center). The NOSL network will develop and execute a common implementation framework for NASA technical assistance to out-of-school time programs. This framework will be grounded in evidenced-based practice and past program evaluation from the summer of innovation. NASA centers will identify regional NASA partners and deliver structured support to meet the needs of local school districts community and youth serving organizations (YSOS) and informal education institutions that provide out-of-school time (OST) stem education opportunities for elementary and secondary students. Each center will implement a model where they serve as a hub on NASA-related project-based stem learning experiences the NOSL network will connect NASA scientists engineers and mission content with local OST initiatives. The NOSL network will focus on the implementation of evidence-based practices through a shared crosscenter framework that includes: 1) professional development practices 2) delivery of placebased learning opportunities; 3) strategies for access to scientists and engineers; 4) connections to regional and national OST and partner-led learning networks; 5) evaluation technical assistance both internally to other NASA centers and externally to collaborating partners; and 6) standards-based lessons.
