Noggin.’ This paper discusses the benefits and skills of S.T.E.M. in learning, the benefits and skills of S.T.E.A.M. in learning, educational disparities within the United States, how educational outreach groups are currently assessed as well as more innovative arts-based and inquiry-based alternative assessments of student knowledge. This paper then focuses on the nonprofit N.W. Noggin to discuss their goals and activities and possible options for program assessment. This thesis also discusses how they fulfill their civic duty as an educational outreach group, both to underserved communities and to their own outreach volunteers. This thesis will hopefully provide a solid foundation for outreach assessment, both for N.W. Noggin and other S.T.E.M./S.T.E.A.M. outreach groups, while encouraging a more interdisciplinary approach to inclusive education. How a Neuroscience Outreach Group Utilizing Art in S.T.E.M.
