Beschreibung
This volume explores the critical role of inclusive informal STEM education (ISE) for neurodivergent audiences. It highlights the diverse contexts in which STEM learning occurs beyond formal schooling, emphasizing lifelong learning through everyday experiences, programs, and designed settings like museums and zoos. The book addresses the increasing focus on diversity, equity, access, and inclusion (DEAI) within ISE organizations, aiming to remove barriers and ensure access for all, including neurodivergent individuals. With 15-20% of the global population identifying as neurodivergent, this volume is essential for ISE researchers and practitioners seeking to implement effective and promising practices for engaging neurodivergent individuals in STEM learning and employment opportunities.
