Our Purpose
We believe that to continue the legacy of scientific exploration, every generation must be inspired to learn what we know about our world and the Universe, and how we have come to know it.

Our Pedagogy
We believe that learners must see themselves in the stories we tell, and experience scientific exploration through their own involvement.

Our Approach to Programs
We believe that it takes a community to educate a child…and a network of communities to reach a generation.


These core beliefs define our educational purpose, the experience for the learner, and a commitment to diverse learning experiences across entire communities. These beliefs serve as the guiding principals for all the programs we create, deliver, and sustain.
