Scientists for Tomorrow: The evaluation and lessons learned from a self-sustained initiative to promote STEAM in out-of-school-time frameworks in underserved, community-based organizations

Resumen: 
In 2011, the Scientist for Tomorrow (SfT) initiative was created after receiving a grant from the National Science Foundation’s Informal Science Education program. The SfT initiative is designed to utilize a science-based curriculum to provide urban youth in Chicago with information and skills related to science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) careers and foster positive attitudes toward STEAM subjects and related careers. This grant financially sustained SfT and allowed it to serve 15 out-of-school-time organizations for two years. Today, the SfT initiative is in its sixth year, serving more than 40 out-of-school time organizations, 600 middle school student and 150 parents per semester in a self-sustained mode.
