Special Report: STEM Learning in Afterschool on the Rise!
August 2021
The Afterschool
Alliance, recently released an America After
3PM Special Report, “STEM
Learning in Afterschool on the Rise, But Barriers and Inequities
Exist.” This report finds that afterschool programs
throughout the country, are offering more STEM learning
opportunities, but inequities exist and too many young people are
missing out.
Top takeaways from the National STEM report include:
- Opportunities for STEM learning in afterschool programs have increased.
- Parents value STEM learning in afterschool and summer programs.
- Afterschool programs reach populations traditionally underrepresented in STEM.
- Too many children are missing out.
- Parents support public funding for afterschool and summer programs.
