Abstract
This study compares the adoption and spread of a learning sciences innovation, a project-based, interest-driven STEAM learning program, in two culturally distinct contexts: a large school district in the southeastern United States and the public schools in Helsinki, Finland. Using Actor Network analysis, we show how and what actors needed to be mobilized for the program to get in, get rooted, and spread (or not) in these two contexts. Our findings have implications for understanding both how to spread and sustain learning sciences innovations and similarities and differences between the Finnish and American school systems.
