For example-if you do outreach, do you have a contract for a certain number of programs to be provided per year? Do you offer a package deal for a certain grade level for field trip focus? Are there internship opportunities for students at a certain grade level? We're also especially interested in a choice school concept, but housed at the school, not the museum (space constraints.) Off list response is just fine! Thank you in advance for any suggestions/ideas! Laurie Duncan Education Director Discovery Center of Springfield 438 E.
