Under the NOAA-21st CCLC Watershed STEM Education Partnership program, NOAA partners work with local 21st CCLC sites to bring STEM resources and activities into out-of-school programming, with the intention of establishing enduring partnerships. Here are some resources for 21st CCLC sites to learn more about NOAA science, connect to NOAA entities near them, and find NOAA activities for use in their local watershed and classroom.
