  The good news is that nearly nine out of 10 after-school programs are trying to get kids more involved in science and technology. They're infusing so-called STEM projects (science, technology, engineering and math) into their programs. But too few leaders know about the growing universe of available resources: enticing curriculum, opportunities to train staff, tools to test their progress. Access to high-quality after-school science curriculum and staff training has yet to catch up to interest. But that's changing. At an elementary school in Harlem, kids are learning about volume, cohesion and air tension from blowing bubbles bigger than their heads. And where there was once a patch of weeds, kids seized with a passion for conservation have become urban planters.
