Partnership for Arts, Science and Technology Learning (PASTeL)

这项计划赠款的目标是建立一个创新的艺术和科学机构合作机构，以加强波士顿的非正式科学学习。该项目将在东北大学、波士顿美术馆、波士顿交响乐团和王氏表演艺术中心之间建立合作伙伴关系，通过互动节目和展品，加强为有5-12岁儿童的家庭提供非正式科学节目。该规划项目将开发与每个合作伙伴的任务相关的科学主题的计划和原型，同时突出科学要点和主题。交付内容包括前端评估、试点计划，然后是网络模块的初步设计。将召集一个国家咨询委员会协助规划进程，同时将对每个地点进行仔细研究，以确定如何最大限度地扩大不同学习场所的参与者的学习机会。

The goal of this planning grant is to establish an innovative collaborative of arts and science institutions to enhance informal science learning in Boston. The project will create a partnership between Northeastern University, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Wang Center for the Performing Arts to enhance the delivery of informal science programming for families with children ages 5-12 using interactive programs and exhibits. The planning project will develop and prototype programs across science themes that relate to each partner's mission, while highlighting science concenpts and topics. Deliverables include a front-end evaluation, pilot programs and then preliminary design of web modules. A national advisory comittee will convene to assist with the planning process while careful study of each site will be undertaken to determine how to maximize learning opportunities for participants in the diverse learning venues.
