These exhibits/programs are focused on the development of literacy and engagement in hands-on, inquiry-based investigations of science, technology, engineering, and math (i.e., the STEM disciplines). Due to the Novel Coronavirus pandemic that resulted in closure of the Museum, year-over year comparisons are skewed. The museum closed to the general public between August 31, 2020 and June 2021, causing a sizable increase in overall Fiscal Year 2022 attendance numbers when compared to the previous fiscal year. In FY22, The Museum served 417,000 visitors up from 51,000 from the prior year due to Coronavirus related closures. One-third of the visitors receive free admission via weekly free family nights and the open doors free museum admission passes distributed to low-income families by community-based partners at 1,060+ locations across Greater Houston. 734236 Community outreach programs serving low-income families in under-resourced neighborhoods include a) seven programs that facilitate children's engagement in literacy and STEM-based learning during the out-of-school hours and summer months; and b) seven programs that equip parents to facilitate hands-on, evidence-based learning at home using inexpensive and readily available supplies that can be replenished at "dollar" stores. In FY22, these programs achieved attendance of 176,201 virtually and through outreach at locations across greater Houston. All programming is provided free of charge to participants in collaboration with partners that include Title I schools, after school centers, community centers, healthcare clinics, low-income housing apartments, library branches and faith-based organizations.
