The federal Project Grant award in the amount of $501,818 was provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the Museums for America (MFA) program (CFDA 45.301). The Sciencenter Discovery Museum in Ithaca, New York will partner with regional libraries to expand equitable access to hands-on STEM learning by supporting public libraries as trusted community spaces. The project will use input from prior collaborations to co-create STEM activity kits and establish a learning community with library educators to facilitate locally relevant STEM learning experiences that address regional challenges. Key project activities include prototyping activities with museum and library visitors, disseminating kits for at-home and library learning, and conducting a developmental evaluation. This effort aims to strengthen the museum's partnerships to reach new audiences, particularly in rural communities, increase regional libraries' and families' capacity to facilitate STEM learning, and improve science process skills among children through increased STEM engagement.
