International Science-Technology Center Community: Portal to the Knowledge Society

The Center for the Advance of Informal Science Education (CAISE) is developing a variety of resources to support NSF ISE Program-funded projects and the informal science education community writ large. CAISE connects ISE professionals to knowledge, materials, tools and each other through a website and other electronic communications and by convening conferences and workshops on topics and themes addressed by science centers and museums, ISE media producers, science journalists, out of school time STEM educators and cyber learning projects. The presentation will share examples of recent CAISE initiatives designed to provide the ISE community with infrastructure to strengthen the field.
