Museum of Science and Industry

A LEADER IN IMPROVING SCIENCE EDUCATION

The Museum's Center for the Advancement of Science Education (CASE) was created to help realize our vision: to inspire and motivate our children to achieve their full potential in the fields of science, technology, medicine and engineering.

CASE's programs are designed to extend the content of the Museum's exhibits through strategies that empower teachers, engage the community and excite students and Museum guests. We work with local school systems - especially Chicago Public Schools - and collaborate with some of the best minds in science and education to develop and evaluate programs. CASE programs encompass four areas: Institute for Quality Science Teaching and Learning, Community Initiatives, Student Experiences and Guest Experiences.

Museum officials are available to comment on science education issues and ways to improve student achievement in science.
