After School Matters
| Teens are trained in data collection by MAPSCorps staff, including university researchers and college students. The objective of the MAPSCorps Assistantship is to provide meaningful and productive STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) work opportunities for youth. Teens walk the blocks of Chicago neighborhoods identifying and collecting information about what they see: businesses, transportation, parks, community buildings and public services. Teens then take their research to support a factual statement about neighborhoods in Chicago that can help residents, community organizations, researchers, and policymakers to design programs that impact the vitality of their community. |
