NSF RAPID: Advancing Museum-Community Conversations that Intersect STEM and Racial Justice
What did we do?
What did we do?
The goal of this RAPID project was to better understand how an informal science education organization and its STEM and evaluation and research resources can partner with community groups and their expertise to support people's ability to understand, process, and work toward dismantling systemic racism. It took place from August 2020 through July 2021.
This purpose of this site is to share project documents and efforts, for use by others who might be interested in similar work. It was regularly updated through the course of the project and will be intermittently updated now that the project is done. Links on this page will take you to those project documents, some under revision and some final.
Welcome to our emerging work and thank you for any feedback.
