New Ground: Pushing the Boundaries of Studying Informal Learning in Science, Mathematics, and Technology

Between 2004 and 2009, university educators, practicing scientists, museum and science-centre personnel, historians, and K-12 teachers in Canada’s eastern Atlantic provinces came together as a research community to investigate informal learning in science, technology, and mathematics. The interdisci...
