<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:#1F4E79">The GENIAL (Generating Engagement and New Initiatives for All Latinos) Summit, funded by the NSF, was held June 5–6, 2017, at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, CA. It focused on increasing
Latino participation in Informal STEM Learning (ISL) environments (like public libraries) by assessing what we currently know and began to identify new areas to consider in the future. Ninety-one practitioners, community leaders, media specialists, and researchers
from across the United States and Puerto Rico participated. <b>Learn more about the Summit and its resources by registering for one of the upcoming webinars below:<br>

<b>Each interactive webinar will include a brief overview of the GENIAL Summit proceedings, recommendations, and actionable insights.</b> Webinar participants will have a chance to interact with each other, project organizers, and advisors in a lively conversation
about how the GENIAL results can influence their work with Latinos and other diverse audiences. We will also explore how the GENIAL results can move the ISL field forward. We'll intersperse the session with plenty of time for questions and discussion.
