Council (ULC) and the Association of Science and Technology Centers
(ASTC)  announce the availability of funds to will support the planning
and designing of up to 30 Learning Labs in libraries and museums
throughout the country. The Labs are intended to engage middle- and
high-school youth in mentor-led, interest-based, youth-centered,
collaborative learning using digital and traditional media. Grantees
will be required to participate, in-person and online, in a community of
practice that will provide technical assistance, networking, and
cross-project learning. Projects are expected to provide prototypes for
the field and be based on current research about digital media and youth
learning. 

 

Proposals are due by June 15, 2012.  To access guidelines go to:
