York.

NYSCI’s founding at the 1964 – 65 New York World’s Fair marked a pivotal moment

in time — when science and technology inspired a generation of people to reimagine

the world as they knew it, leading to the scientific and technological revolution we

have witnessed in the last 50 years.

Today, NYSCI continues to empower children, teachers and families with the idea

that science and technology are shaping our lives, and we can help chart the course.

This year, we embarked on the creation of a strategic plan to align everything we

do with our distinctive Design-Make-Play philosophy. In the coming year, we will

celebrate the completion of our $50 million campaign, reopen our newly reno-

vated 1964 Great Hall, launch groundbreaking new exhibitions, expand our signa-

ture Science Career Ladder program, and create a suite of digital tools that teach

science and math far beyond the walls of the museum. Much of this work is already

underway, as this report reveals.

Through our work, we are transforming science, technology, engineering and math

(STEM) learning in our own community and beyond. We are grateful to all of our

supporters for helping sustain NYSCI as New York City’s premiere hands-on science

and technology center and an international leader in informal STEM education.

Margaret Honey, President & CEO

Every day, NYSCI works to inspire the world about science and invention through a

guiding philosophy we call Design-Make-Play.

Open-ended exploration, imaginative learning, personal relevance, deep engage-

ment and delight are the defining characteristics of this approach — and together

they have been proven to inspire passionate STEM learners. NYSCI engages diverse

communities of learners by fostering the excitement of self-directed exploration

and by tapping into the joy of learning that is intrinsic in young people’s play.

This transformative model for STEM not only invites broad participation, but also

makes learning irresistible.

Throughout NYSCI, exhibitions, programs and events provide multiple entry points,

making STEM concepts and ideas accessible and inviting to learners of all ages and

backgrounds. Over the past three years, NYSCI has grown its research capacity

by significantly increasing its team of scientists, researchers and evaluators with

the goal of establishing the institution as an incubator of new STEM programs

designed to transform learning. NYSCI is committed to partnerships that extend

its impact locally, nationally and internationally, and its recent work has garnered

support from leading foundations and companies. NYSCI staff and Explainers have

participated in a number of prestigious events, including two visits to the White

House celebrating the power of science and the potential of making.

In May 2014 NYSCI lost a singular force in its family, Dr. Alan J. Friedman, who led

the institution from 1984 until 2006.

At the core of Alan’s vision for NYSCI was the commitment to provide opportuni-

ties for high school and college students to develop their interests in science by

sharing the experience of discovery with others. For nearly 30 years, the brilliance of

that vision has been proven through the many programs Alan created and inspired,

most notably the Science Career Ladder. The Science Career Ladder has served

over 3,000 youth since its inception, employing them as Explainers and providing

them with mentoring, apprenticeships and networking opportunities to help them

prepare for careers in STEM fields.

To honor his memory and carry on his legacy, NYSCI established the Alan J.

Friedman Center for the Development of Young Scientists with seed funding from

the Noyce Foundation, where Alan served as a trustee. The Friedman Center will

not only sustain the Science Career Ladder, but also enable the creation of addi-

tional programs to cultivate the interests and careers of young scientists. In addi-

tion to the Science Career Ladder, the Friedman Center includes expanded initiatives

like the Innovation Institute that engages high school students in next-generation

entrepreneurial activities; STEM Career Nights for aspiring young scientists to

learn from STEM professionals; Explainer TV, which teaches video production and

photography; and Science Career Ladder Residencies for growth and development

training in STEM fields.

Design Lab is a revolutionary innovation laboratory for STEM learning. Unveiled in

spring 2014, this 6,300-square-foot permanent exhibition provides a multi-faceted,

hands-on experience where visitors of all ages learn the fundamentals of engineering

through design.

Design Lab is comprised of distinct activity areas that emphasize different

approaches to creativity, collaboration and problem solving that are personally

relevant and purposeful. Within each area — Studio, Treehouse, Backstage and

Sandbox — students, teachers and families are invited to engage in activities that

provide a deeper understanding of the engineering and design process. With facil-

itated activities, curriculum resources and professional development offerings,

Design Lab enables school groups and teachers to transfer design and engineering

concepts from NYSCI back into their classrooms. The exhibition, activities and

resources have been co-developed with Design Lab fellows, a cadre of committed

New York educators, who have been key to ensuring the alignment of the content

with the Common Core Math and Next Generation Science Standards.

Design Lab is made possible with generous support from Phyllis and Ivan Seidenberg,

the Verizon Foundation, Office of Naval Research and the Xerox Foundation. The

Verizon Foundation provided seed funding for Design Lab that supported the partic-

ipation of teachers to contribute to and inform the exhibition.

NYSCI’s mission of transforming STEM learning is exemplified by SciPlay — the

Sara L. Schupf Family Center for Play, Science, and Technology Learning.

An applied research and development center, SciPlay’s talented staff work to create

the next generation of interactive and instructional tools for bringing the Design-

Make-Play philosophy to learners around the globe. With the goal of leveraging

children’s play for science learning, SciPlay develops research-based products and

finds ways to integrate play and playfulness more deeply into children’s learning,

as well as highlighting the learning inherent in their natural play.

This year, the research team is developing a suite of digital and curricular tools

that draw on children’s physical play as the basis for learning physics concepts.

The SciPlay Squad, a group of middle school students who meet after school, help

to test and provide input into the development of these tools. SciPlay researchers

are also exploring the use of playfulness as a pedagogical approach for introducing

science ideas to preschool children through a set of new mobile applications.

Virtual Visits

More than 400 chronically ill, hospitalized and

homebound students access STEM exhibits, courses and

labs through NYSCI’s Virtual Visits. The program utilizes

new and innovative technology such as an interactive

videoconferencing platform, provided by Cisco,

and a remote-controlled VGo robot, provided by Verizon,

that allows this vulnerable population to participate in

NYSCI’s programs from a distance. Virtual Visits enable

chronically ill middle school and high school students

to interact directly with the museum’s exhibitions,

participate in state-mandated chemistry and biology labs,

and allow children in multiple hospitals to connect with

one another, simulating the feel of a live classroom.

Ocean inquiry

NYSCI and its partners released a new report that takes

a fresh look at the state of ocean science education in

formal and informal settings, highlighting an urgent

need for ocean science literacy. The consortium —

COSEE OCEAN (Centers for Ocean Sciences Education

Excellence Ocean Communities in Education And

Social Networks) — produced a reference guide including

hundreds of resources and tools that scientists,

educators and organizations can use to improve the

understanding of such major concerns as global climate

change, energy sources and uses, the health of local and

global ecosystems, and natural resources.

World Maker Faire

The 4th annual World Maker Faire — a cross between a

county fair and the most interesting science fair ever —

brought together 600 makers and 75,000 visitors for

a weekend of creativity, discovery, innovation and the

required determination and complexity of realizing

an idea in the marketplace. World Maker Faire attracts

families, educators, engineers, artists, technologists,

enthusiastic entrepreneurs, as well as global corporate

leaders to connect, tinker and make, reinvigorating the

spirit of American invention and engagement in STEM.

After visiting World Maker Faire at NYSCI, Senator

Kirsten Gillibrand announced new legislation to advance

K–12 education programs in STEM, improve teaching

and learning in these fields, and promote innovation and

invention among young people in New York.

False Conviction

In collaboration with the Innocence Project and

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jim Dwyer, NYSCI

published False Conviction: Innocence, Guilt & Science.

The iBook, designed for use on an iPad, focuses on real

cases in which eyewitness accounts, confessions and

crime lab tests led to false convictions, and where DNA

evidence subsequently helped exonerate the inno-

cent. Interactive science experiences — where one can

examine DNA, match a bullet to the gun that fired it, and

explore crime scene photos — will change how people

view the role of science in the legal system.

girls First Digital studio

Girls First Digital Studio provides the chance for girls

and young women to gain skills in computational design,

from conceptualization to prototyping to production.

Through workshops, participants become adept at

programming and design in 3D virtual worlds,

digital media and communication tools. Student projects

include the creation of online environments where

participants share digital art and stories. Girls First

Digital Studio promotes critical thinking, creativity,

collaboration, media and technology skills and exposes

girls to female professionals who work in computer

science and technology fields.

international impact

NYSCI has created an international footprint, delivering

programs and presentations around the world, including

the Science Center World Summit in Belgium and the

Bangkok Science Festival in Thailand. In partnership

with Tufts University, and with support from USAID,

NYSCI staff have created SMART Lab, a program that

provides professional development to 500 secondary

school teachers and 10,000 students in Indonesia.

NYSCI advises on the creation of makerspaces,

develops activities, and supports teachers to ignite the

imaginations of both university and high school students.

Human Plus

Human Plus: Real Lives + Real Engineering was a NYSCI

project resulting in a traveling exhibition that debuted in

November 2013. The exhibition invites visitors to

explore engineering that enhances people’s abilities,

focusing on people with physical disabilities. With

funding from the National Science Foundation, and in

partnership with research engineers — many of whom

have disabilities themselves — the exhibition shows how

engineering is a creative process that solves real world

problems. Featuring stories of skiers who are blind,

dancers who use their own crutches to perform, and the

daily challenges of veterans who have lost limbs, the

exhibition shows how low and high tech tools can extend

human abilities.

Making at nYsCi

Maker Space is a learning environment at NYSCI

where children, teens, adults and families can tinker,

design and create together. Through a series of

workshops like Make Academy, young people use real

tools, such as soldering irons, sewing machines,

3D printers and more, to make things and reuse

everyday materials in novel ways. From woodworking

and plaster casting to electronics and 3D printing,

NYSCI encourages experimentation and open-ended

exploration, and believes that making mistakes is a

great way to learn. Even children as young as 18

months old can participate in DIY workshops through

NYSCI’s Little Makers program.

Thank you to all who support NYSCI.
