| Sumario: | Part of a special issue on afterschool computer programs for children. The writers discuss project SEARCH (Science Education and Research for Children), an outreach program designed to bring the science resources of a large university to community centers and classrooms. They draw on observations, interviews, and surveys to examine the experiences of college students as teachers and role models for the children, paying particular attention to afterschool programs. They conclude that the SEARCH project highlights both the value of providing diverse and challenging experiences for children and the need for dialogue and reflection on those experiences. |
