Description
The workshop offers the opportunity to discuss strategies with Dr. Leilah Lyons, a Program Director of the Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings (DRL) Program. Dr. Lyons is interested in hosting this interactive session for researchers and community practitioners to engage, collaborate and network, and to review abstracts of funded proposals to understand successful elements of winning proposals. Dr. Lyons stated, “For a really long time, research was done to people and for people. We are in the ‘with people’ era and now we are getting to the ‘by people’ era.” Centering authentic partnerships and communities are the focus of this workshop. Colorado university partners, external community partner organizations, community members and practitioners are invited to attend and participate. ��

Biography
Dr. Lyons is a Program Director in the Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings (DRL), where she currently serves as the co-lead for the Advancing Informal STEM Learning (AISL), and as a program director for Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) , and for the cross-directorate programs Research on Innovative Technologies for Enhanced Learning (RITEL), National Artificial Intelligence Research Institutes (NAIRI), and Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC). She was formerly an Associate Professor at the Computer Science department and the Learning Sciences Research Institute at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Director of Digital Learning Research at the New York Hall of Science. Her research has contributed to the fields of Human-Computer Interaction, Learning Sciences, Informal Learning, Urban Planning, and Educational Data Mining, but has always addressed questions of how we can use interactive technology to help people learn together about complex STEM topics in open-ended settings, and how we can in turn use computers to help document that learning.��
