As part of its overall strategy to enhance learning in informal environments, the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program funds innovative research, approaches and resources for use in a variety of settings. This program will derive knowledge on extreme weather and its concepts to be shared with youth in the Boston and Kansas City areas. Subsequently, the youth will share this knowledge by displaying it as art work on the rapid transit systems. The art projects will culminate in broad-based exhibition at the end of each group's sessions. The project will involve 200 youth per region resulting in an impact of 1000 youth per year, 80 adult mentors and 20,000 adult transportation riders in learning about extreme weather concepts. Participant organizations are the University of Mass-Boston, University of Mass-Lowell, The Massachusetts College of Art, the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc., and the Goodman Research Group Inc.The goals of this project are to bring the topic of extreme weather to the foreground by educating youth and in turn having them educate a selected group of adults that use the rapid transit system. Groups of youths will learn about the topic through a series of meetings with mentors who are experts on the issues around extreme weather. The youth will derive their own art-works with their interpretation. These art-works will be displayed on the rapid transit systems in New England (Merrimack Valley and Worcester regions) and the Mid-West (Topeka and Kansas City areas). Using a quasi-experimental mixed methodology (demographics, bus ridership, initial level of science awareness, and interest) the goal is to understand science learning outcomes associated with the creation and public display of youth art. Research questions of importance in this regard are 1. In what ways does blending art with the science enhance youth learning about extreme weather concepts? 2. To what extent does youth art support adult learning of science? and 3. How does regional context affect learning about extreme weather?Broader impacts will result from the youth diversity as well as the diversity of riders of the rapid transit systems where the art of extreme weather is displayed.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

作为加强非正式环境学习的整体战略的一部分，前进的非正式STEM学习（AISL）计划为在各种环境中使用的创新研究，方法和资源提供了资金。该计划将获得有关极端天气及其概念的知识，并将与波士顿和堪萨斯城地区的青年共享。随后，年轻人将通过在快速公交系统上展示艺术作品来分享这一知识。艺术项目将在每个小组会议结束时在基于广泛的展览中达到顶峰。该项目将涉及每个地区200名青年，每年有1000名青年，80名成人导师和20,000名成人交通骑手在学习极端天气概念方面。与会组织是马萨诸塞大学，马萨诸塞大学，马萨诸塞州艺术学院，堪萨斯大学研究公司中心和Goodman Research Group Inc.该项目的目标是通过教育青年和使他们使用快速运输系统的成年人教育，该项目的目标是将极端天气的主题带到前景中。一群年轻人将通过与导师的一系列会议来了解这个话题，这些导师是关于极端天气问题的专家。年轻人将通过解释来得出自己的艺术工作。这些艺术作品将显示在新英格兰（Merrimack Valley和Worcester地区）和中西部（托皮卡和堪萨斯城地区）的快速运输系统上。使用准实验混合方法（人口统计学，公共汽车乘车，初始科学意识和兴趣））的目标是了解与青年艺术的创造和公众展示相关的科学学习成果。在这方面，重要性的研究问题是1。将艺术与科学融合的方式可以增强青年对极端天气概念的学习？ 2。青年艺术在多大程度上支持成人科学学习？ 3.区域环境如何影响对极端天气的学习？更广泛的影响将造成青年多样性以及快速运输系统的骑手的多样性，在这些系统中显示了极端天气。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来支持的，这是值得的。
