Abstract Title: Transitioning to Online Learning in an Informal Physics Program
Abstract: The University of Colorado Boulder-based Partnerships for Informal Science Education in the Community (PISEC) program facilitated activity remotely for the 2020-2021 academic year.  Like many other education efforts both formal and informal, we encountered a tremendous number of constraints and challenges to activity during the COVID-19 pandemic.  We here document some of these challenges as well as preliminary research on how the informal educators of our program adapted to them.  We also report a promising model for partnership between programs like PISEC and programs housed at science centers for the post-COVID era.
