Development Process
Network professionals work together to create and share resources, practices, and knowledge.
Through our projects, we design, implement, and study out-of-school STEM learning programs, exhibits, and media. This work is informed by evaluation studies, research on learning, and wisdom from practice.
Network leaders and partners identify needs in the field and draw on our combined capacity and expertise to address them. Our project teams create resources and coordinate activities nationally, and partner organizations implement project activities locally. As Network professionals participate in project activities, they are able to adapt materials for their local community.

NISE Network educational materials are created through an iterative, collaborative process that involves scientists, informal education professionals, and targeted public audiences.
