The Bay Area Regional Collaboration to Expand and Strengthen STEM (RECESS) is a regional, unified STEM continuum effort from preschool through graduate school and career. RECESS is based on successful collective impact efforts in other fields and employs a participatory action research (PAR) approach to broaden participation in STEM. In the PAR framework, youth and their families will help to define the issues and develop expertise about community needs through a shared research process.RECESS introduces participatory action research as an innovative element to the collective impact social agency framework. The intent is to determine the extent to which the engagement and involvement of the students and communities targeted can effectively shape the function of the collective impact network of organizations.During the two year planning phase, RECESS (a) conducts a comprehensive needs assessment and gap analysis; (b) establishes a functioning organization of stakeholders with a common agenda and governance model; and (c) develops a detailed action plan. It is a significant contribution to the body of knowledge on effective and innovative collective impact structures designed to promote STEM education and participation.

湾区扩大和加强STEM(课间休息)的区域合作是从学前教育到研究生院和职业生涯的区域性、统一的STEM连续努力。休会建立在其他领域成功的集体影响努力的基础上，并采用参与性行动研究的办法来扩大对科学、技术和经济研究的参与。在PAR框架中，青年及其家庭将通过共同的研究进程帮助确定问题并培养关于社区需求的专门知识。RECESS将参与性行动研究作为集体影响社会机构框架的一个创新要素。其目的是确定学生和目标社区的参与在多大程度上能够有效地塑造组织的集体影响网络的功能。在两年规划阶段，休会(A)进行全面的需求评估和差距分析；(B)建立一个具有共同议程和治理模式的利益攸关方运作组织；(C)制定详细的行动计划。这是对旨在促进STEM教育和参与的有效和创新的集体影响结构的知识体系的重大贡献。
