Hello Ari,
The Informal Science Education Wiki (www.iseevidencewiki.org) may be of
use to you. The wiki includes summaries of evidence that characterize the
benefits and outcomes of ISE, as well as links and citations.
Specifically, here are a few articles that might help you:
Adult Interactions in a Science Museum:

How Young Children Learn Science:

Mentoring in informal settings supports youth identity development:

Best of luck in your research!
