The New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) will host a community-based convening, and a series of follow-up to advance the knowledge base and increase the capacity of educators who support STEM pathways for STEM opportunities. The objective of the NYSCI Neighbors STEM Collaborative will be to engage principals, parent coordinators and parents, science cluster teachers, and English Language Learner instructors from schools in Corona, Queens, to help guide NYSCI staff in developing a framework for integrating museum activities aligned to the newly implemented New York State Science Learning Standards. The convening will help develop the foundation for building a national community of practice that will serve to amplify work on STEM and first-generation immigrant students.There are very few places where first-generation immigrant families can go that provide opportunities for an intergenerational approach to learning, where families and children learn together. The NYSCI STEM Collaborative will lead to a community of practice where teachers, parents, ELL instructors, and museum staff co-develop activities to strengthen teaching and learning in STEM between the school and the museum. This work will also contribute to a small, but growing body of research literature examining the role that science centers can play in impacting local communities and extend this work by anchoring it deeply in the lessons learned throughout the NYSCI Neighbors initiative. The Institute will combine research projects, the development of methodologies for the study of diverse families and youth, training graduate students and disseminating research findings. The project will disseminate the lessons learned in this initiative through two major organizations. First, NYSCI is partnering with the Institute for Immigration, Globalization and Education. Second, NYSCI has been invited by the Carnegie Corporation of New York to engage a group of science museums across the country all of whom are working to deeply engage first-generation communities.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.

纽约科学馆（NYSCI）将举办一次以社区为基础的会议，以及一系列后续活动，以推进知识基础，提高支持STEM途径的教育工作者的能力。NYSCI邻居STEM协作的目标是让校长、家长协调员和家长、科学集群教师以及皇后区科罗纳学校的英语学习者教师参与进来，帮助指导NYSCI工作人员制定一个框架，将博物馆活动与新实施的纽约州科学学习标准相结合。这次会议将有助于为建立一个全国性的实践社区奠定基础，这将有助于扩大STEM和第一代移民学生的工作。第一代移民家庭可以去的地方很少有提供代际学习方法的机会，家庭和孩子一起学习。NYSCI STEM协作将形成一个实践社区，教师，家长，ELL讲师和博物馆工作人员共同开发活动，以加强学校和博物馆之间的STEM教学。这项工作还将有助于一个小的，但越来越多的研究文献研究的作用，科学中心可以发挥影响当地社区和扩展这项工作，通过锚定它深深地在整个NYSCI邻居倡议的经验教训。该研究所将联合收割机结合研究项目、制定研究不同家庭和青年的方法、培训研究生和传播研究成果。该项目将通过两个主要组织传播在这一举措中吸取的经验教训。首先，NYSCI与移民、全球化和教育研究所合作。第二，NYSCI已被邀请由纽约卡内基公司聘请一组科学博物馆在全国各地都致力于深入参与第一代社区。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得支持的评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响力审查标准。
