Inspiring Today's Students to Become Tomorrow's Scientists

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

The Center aims to inspire the next generation of inventors and innovators with programs that empower teachers, engage the community and excite students. Our programs reach beyond the Museum's walls into schools and community organizations across the Chicago area. Program development is guided by some of the best minds in science education. We continually analyze and evaluate our work to ensure that we implement the best ideas.

Each spring, the Museum holds a special event to celebrate the achievements of the students, teachers and community organization staff who participate in the Center's programs. Read more about our honorees here (PDF).

The Center comprises the program areas described below.
