MMSA is proud to present a selection of resources for afterschool, out-of-school, and really any educator who wants to bring research-backed STEM activities into the classroom. These materials were developed by ACRES (Afterschool Coaching for Reflective Educators in STEM).
ACRES was a nationally acclaimed coaching program that helped build knowledge and skills so afterschool educators, librarians and anyone who works with youth in out-of-school settings can confidently facilitate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) experiences.
