| PART III, LINE 1A: | CONSISTENT WITH THE POLICY OF MANY MUSEUMS, PURCHASES FOR USE AS EXHIBITS AND PROGRAMS ARE NOT CAPITALIZED. |
| PART III, LINE 4: | NYSCI HAS EIGHT MAJOR GALLERY AREAS, MULTIPLE SMALLER EXHIBIT SPACES, AND THREE MAJOR OUTDOOR EXHIBITION AREAS. ALL OF THESE SPACES HOUSE EXHIBITS THAT ENGAGE VISITORS IN ACTIVE, CREATIVE STEM LEARNING, WHICH IS AT THE CORE OF NYSCI'S MISSION. THE MAJORITY OF NYSCI'S EXHIBITIONS ARE NOT ARTIFACT-BASED. RATHER, THE EXHIBITIONS ARE DESIGNED TO PROVOKE FORMS OF COLLABORATION, INVESTIGATION, AND EXPLORATION THAT HELP LEARNERS UNDERSTAND STEM TOPICS AND BIG IDEAS, DEVELOP SCIENCE- AND ENGINEERING-BASED PROBLEM-SOLVING PRACTICES, AND DEVELOP THE HABITS OF MIND THAT SUPPORT CRITICAL THINKING, SCIENTIFIC REASONING AND CURIOSITY ABOUT THE NATURAL AND THE DESIGNED WORLD. NYSCI DOES HOLD ARTIFACTS RELATED TO TWO TOPICS: SPACE EXPLORATION AND MATHEMATICS. SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1964, NYSCI HAS HAD A CONTINUOUS FOCUS ON THE WONDERS OF SPACE EXPLORATION. THE OUTDOOR ROCKET PARK IS HOME TO A GEMINI-TITAN II ROCKET, MERCURY-ATLAS D ROCKET, AND SATURN V F-1 ENGINE. AN ORIGINAL MERCURY CAPSULE ALSO HANGS INDOORS. ALL OF THESE ARTIFACTS EMBODY THE COLLABORATIVE, AMBITIOUS, CREATIVE INTEGRATION OF BASIC SCIENCE AND CUTTING-EDGE ENGINEERING THAT ARE AT THE HEART OF NYSCI'S MISSION. THE ORIGINAL MATHEMATICA EXHIBIT, DESIGNED BY RAY AND CHARLES EAMES AND DEBUTED AT THE CALIFORNIA MUSEUM OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY IN 1961, HAS BEEN AT NYSCI SINCE 2001. THIS EXHIBITION INCLUDES MULTIPLE EXHIBIT PIECES THAT ARE BOTH BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE EXAMPLES OF MID-CENTURY AMERICAN DESIGN AND CREATIVE, EDUCATIVE EXPERIENCES THAT ENGAGE VISITORS WITH MATHEMATICAL PATTERNS AND SYSTEMS THAT ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO EXPERIENCES OF THE EVERYDAY WORLD. LIKE THE NASA ROCKETS, MATHEMATICA EMBODIES NYSCI'S COMMITMENT TO ENGAGING VISITORS WITH THE INTERSECTION OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING, EXPLORING HOW NATURAL PHENOMENA ARE DESCRIBED THROUGH MATHEMATICAL AND SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES, HOW THOSE PHENOMENA SHAPE PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCE OF THE WORLD, AND HOW INNOVATION IS DRIVEN BY THE ABILITY TO DRAW ON SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE AND APPLY IT, THROUGH ENGINEERING, TO IMPROVING THE WORLD. |
| PART V, LINE 4: | NYSCI MAINTAINS VARIOUS DONOR RESTRICTED FUNDS WHOSE PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM SUPPORT FOR ITS PROGRAMS IN EXHIBITIONS, EDUCATION, PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND SPECIAL PROJECTS. |
| PART X, LINE 2: | NYSCI RECOGNIZES THE EFFECT OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS ONLY WHEN THEY ARE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT OF BEING SUSTAINED. MANAGEMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT NYSCI HAD NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE. NYSCI IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO EXAMINATIONS BY THE APPLICABLE TAXING JURISDICTIONS FOR PERIODS PRIOR TO FISCAL 2021. |

THE MUSEUM HOSTS FREE WEEKLY COMMUNITY HOURS AND DELIVERS HANDS-ON SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING ACTIVITIES AT EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE LOCAL AREA. FREE FAMILY DAYS AND THE ANNUAL SPRING COMMUNITY CELEBRATION INVITES FAMILIES TO ENGAGE IN MULTI-GENERATIONAL LEARNING AND EXPLORE SCIENCE TOGETHER IN WAYS SO THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE AND A SENSE OF BELONGING. IN ADDITION, THE MUSEUM HAS IMPLEMENTED A SERIES OF PARENT EDUCATION COURSES CALLED FAMILIES LEARNING TOGETHER THAT HELP PARENTS UNDERSTAND WAYS TO SUPPORT THEIR CHILD'S LEARNING AT HOME AND PROVIDES EACH FAMILY WITH A STEM BACKPACK TOOLKIT FOR CONTINUING THEIR SCIENCE INVESTIGATIONS AT HOME. NYSCI ALSO WORKS WITH PARTNERS IN THE ELMHURST CORONA RESOURCE COLLABORATIVE (ECRC) TO HELP FAMILIES ACCESS FOOD, JOBS, HEALTH CARE AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES. IN SEPTEMBER 2022, THE NEW YORK CITY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OPENED A STEAM-THEMED PRE-K CENTER Q369 ON NYSCI'S CAMPUS, PROVIDING ACCESS TO A HIGH-QUALITY PRE-K EXPERIENCE TO OVER 300 THREE- AND FOUR-YEAR OLDS FROM OUR LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD. NYSCI HAS A LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION THAT ALLOWS US TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE TEACHERS, ADMINISTRATORS AND FAMILIES FROM THE PRESCHOOL, ENRICHING THEIR STEM LEARNING AND TEACHING AND MAKING NYSCI AVAILABLE TO THEM AS A RESOURCE AND COMMUNITY HUB. SINCE 2022, THE PRE-K STEM ENRICHMENT PROGRAM HAS EXPANDED TO TWO ADDITIONAL SCHOOLS REACHING THOUSANDS OF EARLY LEARNERS AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH SPECIALIZED FIELD TRIPS, ACTIVITY GUIDE TRAINING FOR TEACHERS AND STEAM FAMILY DAYS AT NYSCI. |

ALL OTHER EMPLOYEES ARE INSTRUCTED TO REPORT POTENTIAL OR ACTUAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST TO THEIR SUPERVISOR. BOARD MEMBERS AND SENIOR STAFF ARE ISSUED A QUESTIONNAIRE ANNUALLY WHICH INCLUDES ALL REQUIRED CATEGORIES OF DISCLOSURE AND REPORTING UNDER NYSCI'S TRANSPARENCY POLICY. COMPLETION OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE IS MANDATORY FOR ALL BOARD MEMBERS AND SENIOR STAFF. THE MOST RECENT QUESTIONNAIRES WERE COMPLETED IN AUGUST 2020.
