The Adler Planetarium will use a $198,760 Project Grant award from the Institute of Museum and Library Services' National Leadership Grants program to develop and deliver digital engagement experiences for middle school students in underserved areas of Chicago and rural communities in central and southern Illinois. Working with an interdisciplinary team, the Adler Planetarium will engage students in STEAM learning through 3D immersive environments and hands-on/digital pre-post activities from September 2021 through August 2023. The project aims to partner with 40 teachers and 20 out-of-school programs to deepen impact, and will evaluate participation metrics, attitudinal surveys, and pre-post activity measurements in target communities.
