LIS was developed by The Franklin Institute Science Museum and it integrates open-ended science activities with children’s books, designed especially for children ages 3-10 along with their families. This program empowers educators to offer workshops in community settings like libraries, museums, and out-of-school time programs to engage underserved audiences both in-person as well as in virtual settings. LIS is funded by the National Science Foundation, and led by The Franklin Institute and The National Girls Collaborative Project. You are invited to submit an application to join this national network for science and literacy. Up to 40 organizations serving primarily urban or rural populations will be prioritized for inclusion to be in alignment with grant specifications and applications received by February 15th will also be given priority consideration. Selected organizations who participate in the LIS program will receive a program kit containing all program materials ($300 value), curriculum, training, and ongoing support. LIS training and workshops have been adapted for virtual implementation during the pandemic. Selected partner organizations in turn agree to send a minimum of 2 staff members to an upcoming virtual training*, and to schedule and lead at least 3 workshops directly for children and families by September 2021. Visit the Leap Into Science website for more information about this program. *Note, this is NOT a train the trainer model – staff that complete training can only offer workshops directly to children & families, not train additional coworkers. Your State Leadership Team for Ohio are passionate about furthering STEM education, literacy, and expanding access to underserved communities.
