Our Board or Directors serves to directly support our mission to inspire and educate young minds through engaging science-based programs and exhibits that create a meaningful impact on the communities we serve. Their advocacy, strategic vision and contributions all help advance our innovative science-based programs, exhibits and festivals, professional development for teachers, outreach into the schools and world-class field trips.
Their leadership is a catalyst for change on behalf of the next generation and their support of our mission with a focus on providing science education to underserved children throughout Southern California is critical.
