Abstract: Quickly disseminating an innovative, timely afterschool program raises challenges, from recruitment and professional development to assessment, program fidelity, and quality. In this paper, we describe our experience as project developers, trainers, and researchers working with an afterschool network, Imagine Science, to disseminate a middle school club program about epidemic diseases and data. What we learned from working with this network may be useful to others who have created an afterschool science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) program they hope to spread widely.
