Ciencia Publica Parklet and the National Science Foundation

Ciencia Pública was a three-year project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support informal education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) within the Latino community. Latinos constitute the largest minority group in the United States, but they remain underserved by STEM learning experiences and under-represented in STEM careers. This project attempts to address that imbalance by creating an informal science learning space accessible to all members of the Mission neighborhood.
