Scientific paper
It is critical to the future success of the scientific workforce that we understand, investigate and implement new strategies to engage a more diverse range of youth in STEM activities and the excitement of science through a variety of less traditional avenues. Here we present the underlying design principles and outcomes of a series of front-end tests of the AstroTrek: Astronomical Learning Expeditions program. This program is designed to broaden the range of teenagers who choose to take part in science learning outside of school, and diversify the gateways through which they can be engaged in and excited by science; develop contexts and strategies where we can bring youth from where they are to where we (the scientific community) are; and find strategies to include authentic scientific experiences in expeditionary learning taking the experiences beyond ‘science tourism’.
