Your needs are unique. Whether you’re looking to improve your programs, products, or exhibits, woo a funder with some key impact data, or partner with an evaluator for a grant funding opportunity, we can help. 

We use a mixed methods approach, which includes both qualitative and quantitative methods. Our goal is to uncover key insights that will help you improve your informal STEM learning programs and communicate to others the impact of your work.

We work with informal STEM education organizations like museums, nature centers, camps, zoos and aquariums, government agencies, and nonprofits. We also partner with formal education organizations (i.e., K-12 and higher education) that are working in informal STEM learning contexts (such as with after-school programs, outreach programs, community engagement, and out-of-school learning).
