Here's a great rendition of the effect of a science center on a broader community. Clearly, it's teacher to teacher communication at heart with a wonderfully essential by-product student learning. Have a look at the video.

> I have always had Exploratorium Envy, thinking how great it would be to bring all my classes to the museum almost every day…..that’s not going to happen, but I tried the next best thing which is to make a small Exploratorium at my school. It works real great! I have been working with an elementary level teacher and set up 4 different “museums” this past year: general science, earth and space, life, and energy. Each of these set -ups had about a dozen displays and self guided activities for our K-5 kids. This project has been hugely successful at my school and has generated its own future. It required an unused classroom, a small budget, time, a workshop, and a lot of Exploratorium snacks and ideas. (Thanks guys!) It has spawned a renewed focus on science in my entire school community; it has created a class for high school students where they build science displays and teach small children; it has made a rock star out of the physics teacher and given him good job security.

A detailed look at all the stuff appears on our school website www.Seacrest.org go to Academics/Our Elementary Program/Stem Discovery Room.
