Hello, Marine Educators,
Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley has an opportunity to work with Tim= e Warner Cable (TWC) to do some high profile promoting of afterschool and su= mmer programs focused on Ocean Literacy by entering programs into a new nati= onal directory that TWC is using to launch a national campaign for STEM lear= ning beyond the classroom. I think this is a great opportunity to ensure tha= t there is a healthy dose of ocean sciences represented in the directory! If= you would like free national exposure for your afterschool or summer progra= m, please register it into the national directory. I think there will be sig= nificant benefits to programs that are included.
There is a lot of information below and attached, but if you want to go rig= ht to registering programs into the national directory, you can go straight = to
directory.scienceafterschool.org/signup/ <http://directory.scienceafterschool.org/signu= p/> (no preceding www)
Thanks very much.
Craig (see below and attached)
Dear Colleagues:
I am writing to ask for your help and to alert you to an opportunity.
Lawrence Hall of Science is the home to the Coalition for Science After
School (CSAS), a national network of informal science and youth-serving
organizations. CSAS is working with Time Warner Cable (TWC) to launch= a
national campaign for STEM learning beyond the classroom. The campaig= n
is an exciting chance for informal science education programs to receive nationwide promotion, visibility and attention, through media events,
partnerships, and a nationwide database of after- and out-of-school
science, technology, engineering, and math programs.
As a key component of the partnership with TWC, CSAS is developing a
searchable directory that will feature afterschool programs, camps,
classes, events, fairs, exhibits and other activities where young people can engage with STEM activities. TWC is planning a highly visible
national launch of the initiative, and has a five-year plan to promote
and increase capacity for afterschool science. The directory is a key=
component of the partnership, enabling both consumers and professionals
in the field to learn about the wealth of afterschool STEM programs
across the country. Because of this high profile campaign, we fully
expect funders, policymakers, and potential partners to begin using this tool to identify leaders in the field.
The larger the directory grows the more consumers and educators alike
will benefit. I would appreciate it if you will encourage your staff = to
take a few moments to enter their program information. Additionally, = if
you or your staff members know of other organizations that fit the CSAS
profile, please feel free to pass along this information to your colleagues= .
You can enter your program information by going to
directory.scienceafterschool.org/signup/ <http://directory.scienceafterschool.org/signup/&= gt; (no preceding www)
I have attached information that you can share with your staff to ensure that you take full advantage of this free publicity! If you have any =
questions about the specifics that are not answered by the attached
documents (FAQs, talking points) or need more information about the
easiest ways to share your data, please contact Mike Radke at
mradke at berkeley.edu and he will assist you. Please forward this <= BR> request, and the attachments to your colleagues, and encourage them to
join the directory. We have only a month to complete this task, so ti= me
is very important. Thanks for your help. Susan

and student learning opportunities.
Ocean Embassy, based in Orlando, represents mo=
re than 230 years of animal behavior and training experience and has =
conducted behavior management seminars for veterinary schools, research lab=
oratories, universities, aquariums, zoos and
government agencies. Please visit our website at
