Coalition for Science After School (CSAS)
CSAS is a strategic alliance of individuals and organizations involved in STEM education, youth development, and out-of-school time programs. It is based at the Lawrence Hall of Science and works with approximately 150 member organizations to promote access to high quality science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning experiences for young people during out-of-school hours. For more information, see the CSAS website for resources and references.
LHS After School Curriculum
The Lawrence Hall of Science (LHS) has developed compelling hands-on science curriculum that can easily be integrated into your after school program. Developed by LHS’s GEMS program and published by Developmental Studies Center, AfterSchool KidzScience consists of a series of innovative units that provide a complete solution for programs looking to add a science component to their offerings. Each kit focuses on a general science area (physical science, environmental science, forensics, etc.) and provides four topics within that area that are addressed with four sessions each. The materials have been tested in after school settings and are designed to assure that they are easily presented by program staff with little or no science or education background.
