LEAP into Science Education Conference

Posted by on April 24, 2011

“LEAP into Science” is a partnership between the Franklin Institute Science Museum and the Free Library of Philadelphia, funded by the National Science Foundation, which aims to engage urban youth and families in hands-on science and children’s literature in an afterschool setting.  This program will be expanding to ten additional sites nationwide during the summer of 2011, with implementation starting this fall.

“LEAP into Science” is looking for museums, libraries, afterschool programs, and other organizations to partner together to implement this program in your area.  Along with reimbursement for travel to Philadelphia for the conference on July 18-20, 2011 at the Franklin Institute, sites will receive free program resources and professional development.

The application deadline is Friday, May 6, 2011.
