NSTW provides the stimulus for people of all ages in communities throughout America to celebrate the dynamic role that science and technology play in everyday life. NSTW is aimed at school-age children, their parents, and instructors, with specific emphasis on populations traditionally underrepresented in science and technology studies and careers. NSTW reaches these audiences with educational programs and materials, training, promotion and advertising through the media, special events, and partnerships. The 35-site NSTW Regional Network assists NSTW with media activities, distribution of education materials, training of site coordinators, and special events production in communities across the nation.
