Organizations Filed Purposes: NYSCI'S MISSION IS TO NURTURE GENERATIONS OF PASSIONATE LEARNERS, CRITICAL THINKERS, AND ACTIVE CITIZENS THROUGH DESIGN, MAKE, PLAY - A NOVEL APPROACH TO LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT THAT DRAWS UPON RESEARCH ON DEEPER LEARNING AND SUPPORTS THE CREATION OF LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING, KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION, CREATIVITY, AND INNOVATION. OUR ASPIRATION IS TO CREATE RESOURCES THAT HAVE A MEASURABLE AND SCALABLE IMPACT ON HOW PEOPLE LEARN. THE MUSEUM ANCHORS AND INSPIRES ALL THE WORK THAT WE DO, FOSTERING PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT IN STEM, SUPPORTING OUR YOUTH PROGRAMMING, EDUCATION OFFERINGS, AND RESEARCH. WE HAVE DEVELOPED INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS TO EXTEND LEARNING FAR BEYOND OUR WALLS, AND OUR EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF PARTNERSHIPS DEEPENS AND BROADENS OUR IMPACT, LOCALLY AND AROUND THE WORLD.

THE NEW YORK HALL OF SCIENCE (NYSCI) IS NEW YORK CITY'S PREMIER INTERACTIVE MUSEUM OF SCIENCE

MUSEUM EXPERIENCES:NYSCI IS THE LARGEST HANDS-ON SCIENCE MUSEUM IN NEW YORK, WELCOMING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VISITORS A YEAR, AND REACHING A MILLION PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD THROUGH DIGITAL PLATFORMS. IT OFFERS ONE-OF-A-KIND OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN THROUGH EXHIBITIONS, AS WELL AS LARGE-SCALE EXPERIENCES, COMMUNITY-ANCHORED AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND CAMPS, MAKER SPACE WORKSHOPS AND ACADEMIC CONFERENCES.NYSCI HAS PROGRAMS FOR EVERY AGE AND LEVEL OF SCIENTIFIC INTEREST, FROM TODDLERS TO ADULTS, CASUAL VISITORS TO FUTURE STEM PROFESSIONALS. THESE INCLUDE NYSCI AFTER DARK, WHICH BRINGS 20- AND 30-SOMETHINGS TO SPECIAL AFTER-HOURS PROGRAMS ON SUBJECTS LIKE BEEKEEPING, ASTRONOMY AND THE DESIGN OF HOLLYWOOD SPECIAL EFFECTS; DESIGNERS-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAMS, WHICH PAIRS WORKING SCIENTISTS WITH PROFESSIONAL ARTISTS AND DESIGNERS TO DISCOVER NEW WAYS OF ACCESSING THE SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS BEHIND OUR EXHIBITS; AND OUR STEM EXPO, WHICH GIVES YOUTH A PLATFORM TO LEARN ABOUT EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES IN STEM.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT: NYSCI IS A DYNAMIC LABORATORY FOR LEARNING. TEN DOCTORATE-LEVEL LEARNING SCIENTISTS AND 50 SCIENCE EDUCATORS, EXHIBIT DEVELOPERS AND PROGRAM EXPERTS AT NYSCI CARRY OUT AND APPLY RESEARCH ON THE MOST EFFECTIVE, ENGAGING WAYS TO SUPPORT STEM LEARNING FOR DIVERSE AUDIENCES. OUR RESEARCH INFORMS THE DESIGN OF ALL OF OUR EXHIBITS, OUR PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND EDUCATORS, AND OUR GROUNDBREAKING DIGITAL APPS AND GAMES. BEYOND NYSCI, THIS WORK IS BUILDING AN EVIDENCE BASE FOR SUCCESSFUL STEM EDUCATION WITH DIVERSE AUDIENCES.THROUGH RESEARCH GRANTS FROM THE U.S. NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH, AND PRIVATE SUPPORTERS, WE INVESTIGATED TOPICS RANGING FROM HOW TO TEACH DATA SCIENCE TO THE YOUNGEST LEARNERS, TO INTEGRATING COMPUTATIONAL THINKING INTO A DIGITAL GAME AND MIDDLE SCHOOL CURRICULUM. THIS RESEARCH HELPS NYSCI CREATE INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS FOR FAMILIES AND EDUCATORS; OFFER EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNERS TO DISCOVER THE IMPACT WE CAN HAVE ON THE WORLD AROUND US; DESIGN PLAYFUL, INVITING PATHWAYS INTO UNDERSTANDING COMPLEX SYSTEMS LIKE OUR ENVIRONMENT, OUR CITIES, AND OUR DIGITAL NETWORKS; AND INSPIRE A DIVERSE GENERATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE TO PURSUE CAREERS IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH.

EDUCATION:NYSCI IS ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPERS OF DIVERSE STEM TALENT IN THE UNITED STATES. OUR LADDER OF LEARNING INCLUDES OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS FROM PRE-K TO COLLEGE TO GAIN STEM COMPETENCIES, LEARN 21ST CENTURY SKILLS, AND DISCOVER PATHWAYS TO ACADEMIC AND CAREER SUCCESS. THIS YEAR, WE DELIVERED EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMMING TO HUNDREDS OF PARTICIPANTS THROUGH FAMILY WORKSHOPS, COMMUNITY EVENTS AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS. THROUGH AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND CAMPS, DOZENS OF MIDDLE SCHOOLERS PARTICIPATED IN INVESTIGATIONS OF NEIGHBORHOOD PROBLEMS AND USED DESIGN-THINKING APPROACHES TO CREATE THEIR OWN SOLUTIONS. AND NEARLY 1,000 HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF EXPERIENCES THAT CONNECTED THEM TO STEM PROFESSIONALS AND HELPED THEM ACQUIRE IMPORTANT SKILLS NECESSARY TO SUCCEED IN COLLEGE AND CAREERS.THE COMMUNITY NYSCI SERVES IS ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE AND VIBRANT IN THE COUNTRY, AND IS CRITICALLY UNDERSERVED.
