Community Programs
Children and families are invited to explore science through a range of opportunities that will change their perceptions about science and how to participate in it.
Community Initiatives
We partner with community-based organizations, schools and families to extend science engagement beyond the Museum through after-school Science Minors Clubs and Science Minors and Science Achievers youth development programs.
- Science Minors Clubs
- Our network of over 65 after-school Science Minors Clubs gives preteens an early exposure to science.
- Science Minors
- Teens can discover new interests in science and develop leadership skills while engaging Museum guests in interactive science experiments.
- Science Achievers
- These teens pursue more rigorous science topics, meet with science professionals, and prepare for college and careers.
- Snoozeum
- What could be more fun than spending the night under a real 727, nestled near a fairy castle, or steps from a toy-making factory.
- Saturday Science Club
- Students are invited to join us at the Museum for Saturday science fun!
CASE
The Center aims to inspire the next generation of inventors and innovators with programs that empower teachers, engage the community and excite students.
