This federal Project Grant award for $1,894,664.00, awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), supports the "Expressive STEM Centers in Central Texas: A Research Collective Learning to Empower Community Imagination and Creative Confidence" project. The project, led by Texas State University, creates family-driven learning networks that use a material inquiry approach to connect hands-on STEM activities like robotics, coding, and environmental science to heritage stories and real-world challenges. Over 3 years, the project will conduct approximately 160 formal learning events and 230 DIY drop-in activities across 3 community sites in San Marcos, Texas, with the goal of advancing understanding of how imagination and creative confidence develop through family-based STEM experiences. The project employs participatory action research methodology integrated with material inquiry approaches to investigate how this model of accessible STEM education, which builds on community strengths and assets, can create lasting changes in how communities envision their futures.
