This study explores the application of the complex systems lenses of robustness and trade-offs to evaluate the success of a STEM education program in terms of sustainability. A mixed methods approach is used to document contextual constraints, trade-offs considered such as modularity vs. one-size-fits-all, and actions taken by the project team to build toward adaptive capacities.
