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

I am beginning the process of writing an NSF grant proposal in support of a conference on museum/community partnerships. 
The conference will focus specifically on programs that engage non-traditional families, as opposed to programs designed exclusively for youth.

I'm writing to ask for your help in developing a list of such programs around the country, as follows: 

  . Programs with the involvement of community partner organizations designed to bring non-traditional families to the museum for 
    science experiences. 

  . Programs without the involvement of community partner organizations designed to bring non-traditional families to the museum 
    for science experiences. 

  . Programs designed to engage and involve non-traditional families in science experiences outside of the physical museum.

If you are aware of programs that fall into any of these groups, please let me know.  Ideally, please include a short description, 
email web or address and a contact name and phone number.  And, course, if you're interested in attending this conference yourself be 
sure to let me know. 

Thanks so much.
