REVISE Center

Welcome to the REVISE Center! We are an equity resource center for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program, supported by NSF award DRL-2229061. REVISE is a collaborative effort to advance equity across the informal STEM education field. We set out to cultivate lasting change and advance equity in ISE and the broader STEM ecosystem through efforts that are guided by four core functions: 🔸 Cultivate a multi-sector, diverse community dedicated to promoting equity in ISE experiences and environments . 🔸 Raise the visibility and impact of equity-focused research and practice in the ISE field and its contributions to the overall STEM endeavor . 🔸 Support AISL PIs, prospective PIs, and partners in enacting their commitments to equity with respect to research and practice. 🔸 Promote equitable practices that support the AISL program and disrupt patterns of inequity across the ISE field .

Don't forget to apply to the ISE Equity Visionaries program ‼️APPLY BY December 19th‼️ ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gEkNXQSR This cohort-based program is a succession of educational, networking, and supportive workshops and discussions designed to strengthen the ability and capacity of prospective organizations (especially community-based organizations and academic/research institutions with limited infrastructure) to competitively apply for federal funding opportunities, such as the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL) program. Benefits to participation include: ✅$1,000 stipend (paid to the participant’s organization) ✅Learning the hidden curriculum behind federal funding ✅Guidance on how to develop a research question, study design, and methodology that center equity ✅Networking with other similarly situated community-based organizations (CBO) ✅A concept paper ready for submission to NSF ✅Informing the informal STEM education field of the needs and concerns of small to medium-sized CBOs #REVISECenter #NationalScienceFoundation #NSFFunded #InformalScience #STEMEquity #InclusiveSTEM #STEMEducation #InformalSTEM #STEMForAll #STEMResources #EquityInSTEM #STEMForEveryone #DiversityInSTEM

Join the REVISE Center for a dialogue on equity matters in informal STEM education (ISE)! This will be a space to discuss equity in your work: In your experience, what are barriers to equity? What are strategies that improve your work? This conversation will focus on both celebrating wins and developing our collective resilience as a community of practitioners who want to continue to embed equity in our practice. We welcome attendees from across the ISE field to join us for this engaging dialogue—that includes, but is not limited to: researchers, practitioners, partners, evaluators, students, aspiring ISE professionals. REGISTER: https://lnkd.in/gCwhJpRW The insights shared will also help inform the development of future REVISE Center offerings (such as webinars, interest groups, and resources) and help us stay accountable and relevant in our work. Hosting these dialogue sessions directly supports our mission as a Center to ▪️Continually challenge the ISE community to center equity in their practice ▪️Collaborate, convene, and connect people to accessible stories and resources (that help them) to re-envision the role that equity plays in their work ▪️Celebrate the communities thriving on their own terms #REVISECenter #NationalScienceFoundation #NSFFunded #InformalScience #STEMEquity #InclusiveSTEM #STEMEducation #InformalSTEM #STEMForAll #STEMResources #EquityInSTEM #STEMForEveryone #DiversityInSTEM
