ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

I have organized two ASTC preconference workshops (2008, 2009) and one NSF-funded conference (Albuquerque, 2009) focusing on "Expanding Informal Science for Latinos."  The workshops and conference have focused on the range of issues that are relevant to designing effective approaches in engaging Latino communities in collaboratively planning and implementing informal science programs to engage Hispanic students, families, and general public informal science.


Issues or topics may include:  planning projects collaboratively with the community, culturally sensitive evaluation, planning family-focused events, Spanish-language media, and effective models and resources.



Please let me know if you are interested in participating in sessions or a preconference workshop on these issues.
