The
California School-Age Consortium Announces the Implementation of the
National
Partnerships for After School Science Project (NPASS2)
What is the NPASS2 project?
NPASS2 is a 3-year training and professional
development project designed to increase the capacity
of afterschool programs
to offer extended, hands-on science projects for school-age children. NPASS2 is funded by the National Science Foundation.
NPASS2 follows the first NPASS project and the
Explore-It and Design-It curriculum development projects which between them
produced almost 30 extended science, design and engineering curriculum
project
guides for the out of school field and laid out a framework
for training front
line afterschool staff to lead such project with children
well. Visit www.npass2.edc.org
to learn more.
Get Involved – Apply Today!
CalSAC is one of eight states nationwide
selected to participate in this unique opportunity.
Through our Trainer

to work with 50
afterschool program sites located in Region 3 (Sacramento Area) and Region 4 (Bay Area).
