We aim to:

• Present science in a relevant, fun, hands-on, interactive way
• Integrate science education into many of our programs
• Encourage children and youth to explore science/engineering as career options
• Increase the scientific literacy of the general public

Some of the ways that we do this are:

• After-school Science Clubs
• Science workshops in child and youth programs
• An interactive science wall in our lobby
• Community science fair
• Special projects like Gone Fishin’ – our annual indoor trout pond
• Using our website to make user-friendly ‘slices of science’ available to the public
