To all our readers:

The NSF grant that NSTA and ASTC used to build Connected Science Learning has concluded. We’ve come a long way. It enabled us to find common ground in the K-12 and informal science educator communities. We published two issues and reached thousands of readers. 3,200 of you signed up to receive alerts from us when new content is hot-off-the-press. Now is the time we ask you to take the leap with us. If everyone reading this just this month gave $5, our fundraiser would be done. That’s right, the price of a cup of coffee is all we need. At CSL, we believe science matters. Please help us keep CSL online and growing.

Thank you — David Evans, NSTA Executive Director
