Highlighting findings from two studies, Science Everywhere and Data Everyday, Clegg will illustrate ways STEM learning can be connected to issues and topics relevant to community members\u2019 goals (e.g., cooking, sports). First, in\u00a0<em>Science Everywhere<\/em>, with colleagues, Tammy has spent over six years designing, developing and situating a social media app, large community displays, and life-relevant science learning experiences for youth in two urban, resource-constrained neighborhood settings. From this project, she will highlight case studies of child and adult community members that illuminate the role of the Science Everywhere socio-technical system and hyperlocal context for influencing science disposition shifts in communities. Second, in the\u00a0<em>Data Everyday<\/em>\u00a0project, Clegg\u2019s research team is seeking to understand the opportunities for data literacy development within NCAA Division I sports. Drawing on an interview study with Division I athletes and athletics staff members across sports, she will highlight key tensions that reveal opportunities and challenges for situating data literacy development in the context of community context of elite athletics.\u00a0 Through these studies, Tammy will describe ways such community contexts can, over time, reshape community dispositions in ways that fuel dynamic new community-drive STEM learning experiences and broaden our conceptualizations of STEM learning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Speaker&#8217;s Bio:<\/h2>\n<p>Tamara \u201cTammy\u201d Clegg is an associate professor in the College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland.\u00a0She\u00a0co-directs the Youth eXperience (YX) Lab at\u00a0the College of Information Studies,\u00a0University of Maryland.\u00a0Tammy\u2019s work focuses on designing technology (e.g., social media, mobile apps, e-textiles, community displays) to support life-relevant learning where learners, particularly those from underrepresented groups in science, engage in science in the context of achieving personally relevant goals.
