STEM in Out-of-School Time (OST) Action Group
Strategies for Action
Advancements in STEM teaching/learning will be attained when a wide range of stakeholders work together to achieve a collective impact.
The work to advance STEM in OST must build on what is currently known about best practices.
Prior studies have demonstrated the potential for raising student achievement through high quality OST programming. By extension, offering students access to high quality OST programs is also a ‘best practice’.

Area Counties implementing STEM activities (Year 1)
Offered focused Technical Assistance including video-conference linked workshop series (Year 1)
