ASTC provides professional
development opportunities for people who work in
science centers and other institutions of informal learning.
Network with colleagues, expand your knowledge base, and identify resources you can use in your work by starting or joining a Community of Practice (CoP). CoPs are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly.
