FOUNDED DURING THE 1964 - 1965 WORLD'S FAIR, NYSCI IS RECOGNIZED FOR GROUNDBREAKING EXHIBITIONS, INNOVATIVE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS, YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND MENTORSHIP, TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES, AND LARGE-SCALE EVENTS THAT DRAW CHILDREN AND ADULTS INTO HANDS-ON STEM LEARNING. OUR MISSION IS TO NURTURE GENERATIONS OF PASSIONATE LEARNERS, CRITICAL THINKERS, AND ACTIVE CITIZENS THROUGH DESIGN, MAKE, PLAY A NOVEL APPROACH TO LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT THAT DRAWS UPON RESEARCH ON DEEPER LEARNING AND SUPPORTS THE CREATION OF LEARNING EXPERIENCES THAT DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING, KNOWLEDGE INTEGRATION, CREATIVITY, AND INNOVATION. LIKE MANY CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS, NYSCI HAS BEEN DEEPLY IMPACTED BY THE GLOBAL COVID-19 PANDEMIC. WE CLOSED OUR DOORS TO THE PUBLIC ON MARCH 14, 2020 AND HAVE REMAINED CLOSED, WITH PLANS TO OPEN IN THE SUMMER OF 2021. WE HAVE CHARTED A COURSE TO NOT ONLY ENSURE THAT NYSCI WILL ENDURE, BUT THAT WE EMERGE FROM THE PANDEMIC STRONGER AND MORE VIBRANT THAN EVER. WITHIN THE MUSEUM, AMONG THE COMMUNITIES WE ENGAGE, AND THROUGH NYSCI'S LEADERSHIP IN THE GLOBAL ARENA OF STEM LEARNING, WE ARE REDOUBLING OUR EFFORTS TO CREATE IMPACTFUL EXPERIENCES THAT ENABLE YOUNG PEOPLE FROM DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS TO FEEL CONFIDENT AND EMPOWERED AS STEM LEARNERS. AT THE MUSEUM, WE ARE WORKING DILIGENTLY TO REVITALIZE OUR OFFERINGS. THROUGHOUT OUR RE-OPENING YEAR, VISITORS WILL EXPERIENCE A NEW AND REVITALIZED NYSCI. WE WILL DEBUT THREE EXHIBITIONS: THE HAPPINESS EXPERIMENT; BUBBLES: SCIENCE IN SOAP; AND A REFURBISHED EXHIBIT ON ENERGY. IN ADDITION, THE CHARLES AND RAY EAMES CLASSIC, MATHEMATICA, WILL BE ENHANCED, AND THE ROTUNDA WILL BE REFRESHED TO PROVIDE A DRAMATIC AND INCLUSIVE WELCOME THAT IMMEDIATELY INVITES ALL OUR VISITORS TO DESIGN, MAKE AND PLAY. FOR OUR LOYAL AUDIENCES, WE HAVE DEVELOPED AND CURATED A LIBRARY OF CREATIVE ONLINE DESIGN AND MAKING ACTIVITIES; WE HAVE SUPPORTED OVER 1,400 TEACHERS THROUGH STEM PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS; AND WE HAVE CONTINUED TO ENGAGE THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS THROUGH FACILITATED ON-LINE PROGRAMMING AND THROUGH OUR IMPACTFUL, CAREER-FOCUSED YOUTH INITIATIVES. WE HAVE MADE A STRONG COMMITMENT TO HELP OUR NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES OF CORONA AND ELMHURST HEAL AND RECOVER FROM THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF THE PANDEMIC. NYSCI HAS LED THE ELMHURST CORONA RECOVERY COLLABORATIVE, A GROUP OF 20 NONPROFITS THAT ARE WORKING TO ENSURE THAT FAMILIES HAVE ACCESS TO FOOD, HEALTH AND HEALING PROGRAMS, AND EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL EXPERIENCES DESIGNED TO BUILD RESILIENCE. PARTICIPATING ORGANIZATIONS HAVE DISTRIBUTED OVER 50,000 MEALS, PROVIDED ACCESS TO COVID-19 TESTING AND FLU SHOTS, AND ARE NOW WORKING TO HELP RESIDENTS UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF VACCINATIONS.

THE BOARD DISCUSSES THE COMPENSATION PACKAGE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION AT THE APPROPRIATE QUARTERLY BOARD MEETING, FOLLOWED BY A CLOSED-DOOR DISCUSSION WITH THE CEO. THE BOARD'S APPROVAL OF CHANGES TO THE CEO'S COMPENSATION, ALONG WITH ANY ASSOCIATED PERFORMANCE GOALS, ARE CAPTURED IN A FORMAL SIGNED AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE BOARD AND THE CEO. FOR KEY EMPLOYEES, THE CEO USES INDUSTRY STANDARDS SUBSTANTIATED BY APPROPRIATE DATA SUCH AS COMPENSATION SURVEYS, PERFORMANCE REVIEWS, AND A CONSIDERATION OF EQUITY AND PARITY WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION. WRITTEN AND SIGNED PERFORMANCE REVIEWS, WHICH INCLUDE FUTURE GOALS, ARE PREPARED AND DISCUSSED BETWEEN EACH KEY EMPLOYEE AND THE CEO. CHANGES TO A KEY EMPLOYEE'S COMPENSATION IS DOCUMENTED IN A WRITTEN MEMO FROM THE CEO TO THE KEY EMPLOYEE. DURING THE ANNUAL PERFORMANCE REVIEW PROCESS COMPENSATION IS EVALUATED AGAINST INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL BENCHMARKS WHICH INCLUDE INDUSTRY SPECIFIC NORMS. THE COMPENSATION REVIEW PROCESS WAS LAST CONDUCTED IN 2020. MOST RECENTLY THIS PROCESS WAS USED TO HIRE A CHIEF MARKETING & BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT OFFICER (11/2019).
