Abstract

In this paper, we examine how a four-day out-of-school program planned and taught by a community-based organization allowed for a range of educational possibilities, specifically unlearning “school science” by participating in transdisciplinary STEAM activities, which in turn, offered generative ways to develop STEAM-related identities. These outcomes enabled learners to expand the ways they view science learning. Implications of this experience for designing and studying learning experiences for non-dominant learners are shared.
