DESCRIPTION
In 2015, NSF provided supplemental funding that enabled the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE Net) to help NISE Network partners: 1. Broaden the Network’s reach by engaging audiences that the partner organizations were not currently serving and are traditionally underserved by science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) institutions and underrepresented in STEM fields and 2. Create new or expanded collaborations between NISE Net partners and local community partners . The project was designed for existing, active NISE Network partners (such as children’s museums, science museums, science centers, and university research center outreach programs) within the United States. This report details the evaluation of these efforts.
