("PARENT") ESTABLISHED THE TWO SUBSIDIARIES IN DECEMBER 2017. EACH SUBSIDIARY IS A PENNSYLVANIA NON-PROFIT LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY. THE PARENT IS THE SOLE MEMBER OF EACH. THE GOVERNANCE OF EACH SUBSIDIARY IS SET FORTH IN AN OPERATING AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARENT AND THE SUBSIDIARY. THE OPERATING AGREEMENTS PROVIDE THAT THE DAY- TO-DAY OPERATION OF EACH SUBSIDIARY IS UNDER THE CONTROL OF ITS MEMBER (THE PARENT). AT THE TIME OF THE AUDIT, NEITHER SUBSIDIARY HAD A GOVERNING BOARD, COMMITTEES, OR OFFICERS. MISSION THE DA VINCI DISCOVERY CENTER OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, INC. (DA VINCI SCIENCE CENTER OR CENTER) IS A PENNSYLVANIA NONPROFIT CORPORATION WHOSE MISSION IS TO BRING SCIENCE TO LIFE AND LIVES TO SCIENCE. SERVICE AREA: THE CENTER IS LOCATED IN PENNSYLVANIA'S LEHIGH VALLEY, APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES NORTH OF PHILADELPHIA, PA., AND 90 MILES WEST OF NEW YORK, N.Y. ITS PRIMARY SERVICE AREA IS EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND WESTERN NEW JERSEY-HOME TO 3.8 MILLION PEOPLE. NEED ACCORDING TO THE 2015 NATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS, 24% OF 4TH GRADERS, 32% OF 8TH GRADERS, AND 40% OF HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS DID NOT MEET THE BASIC STANDARDS OF SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE. ONLY 2% OF 12TH GRADERS SCORED AT THE "PROFICIENT" LEVEL AND 2% ACHIEVED THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF "ADVANCED". MALE AND FEMALE STUDENTS SCORED AT SIMILAR LEVELS AT GRADE 4 BUT FEMALES LAGGED MALES AT GRADES 8 AND 12. IN 2017-18, 75.5% OF GRADE 4 STUDENTS IN PENNSYLVANIA AND 53.9% OF GRADE 8 STUDENTS WERE PROFICIENT IN SCIENCE AS MEASURED BY THE PENNSYLVANIA SYSTEM OF SCHOOL ASSESSMENT (PSSA) TESTS. IN THE DA VINCI SCIENCE CENTER'S SERVICE REGION, RESULTS FROM PSSA TEST SCORES WERE MIXED WITH PROFICIENCY SCORES AS LOW AS 18% IN URBAN SCHOOLS. THE REGION'S POWERFUL AND INNOVATIVE INDUSTRIES - INCLUDING HEALTHCARE, ENERGY, AND MANUFACTURING - REPORT THAT THERE IS A GROWING DEMAND FOR WORKERS WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE IN SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATH (STEM). WITH BABY BOOMERS SKILLED IN STEM FIELDS SOON TO RETIRE, THE NEED WILL BE EVEN GREATER OVER THE NEXT DECADE. RESPONSE TO NEED THE DA VINCI SCIENCE CENTER IS DEDICATED TO MEETING THE DEMAND FOR A STEM WORKFORCE BY STIMULATING INTEREST AND APPRECIATION FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN YOUNG PEOPLE AND THE ADULTS WHO INFLUENCE THEM. THE CENTER PROVIDES INQUIRY-BASED SCIENCE LEARNING EXPERIENCES FOR INDIVIDUALS OF ALL AGES, CONNECTS PEOPLE WITH THE WONDERS OF SCIENCE IN ALL ASPECTS OF THEIR LIVES, AND HIGHLIGHTS INNOVATIVE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CAREERS. THE CENTER ENCOURAGES ACTIVE LEARNING, CURIOSITY, CREATIVITY, AND IMAGINATION - TRAITS INSPIRED BY LEONARDO DA VINCI AND THE TRANSFORMATIVE FIGURES THAT HAVE SUCCEEDED HIM INTO THE 21ST CENTURY. PROGRAM AND SERVICES TO STRENGTHEN INTEREST AND ACHIEVEMENT IN SCIENCE, THE DA VINCI SCIENCE CENTER OFFERS THE FOLLOWING: A) A DYNAMIC TWO-STORY EXHIBIT FLOOR THAT FACILITATES INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING THROUGH HANDS-ON EXHIBITS AND PROGRAMS; B) INQUIRY-BASED SCIENCE OUTREACH PROGRAMS DELIVERED IN SCHOOLS AND AT COMMUNITY SITES; WITH A PRIORITY ON SERVING UNDERREPRESENTED YOUTH IN URBAN COMMUNITIES; C) PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS THAT TRAIN TEACHERS IN INQUIRY, ENGINEERING DESIGN, STEM LITERACY, AND THE INTEGRATION OF ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY; AND D) WORKFORCE INITIATIVES THAT CONNECT STUDENTS WITH PRACTICING STEM PROFESSIONALS, INCLUDING THE WOMEN IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING (WISE) INITIATIVE WHICH CONNECTS PRACTICING FEMALE STEM PROFESSIONALS WITH ONE ANOTHER AND ASPIRING FUTURE SCIENTISTS TO HELP BUILD AND SUSTAIN A FEMALE STEM WORKFORCE A WIDE VARIETY OF PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED AT THE CENTER INCLUDING SCHOOL WORKSHOPS; SUMMER CAMPS; SCOUT BADGE DAYS AND OVERNIGHTS; AND LECTURES, DEMONSTRATIONS, AND HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. PROGRAMS OFFERED IN THE COMMUNITY RANGE FROM SMALL-SCALE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS TO LARGER-SCALE COMMUNITY SCIENCE CELEBRATIONS. THE CENTER'S SIX-WEEK SUMMER STEM LITERACY PROGRAM, OFFERED IN CONJUNCTION WITH AREA SCHOOL DISTRICTS, COMBINES SCIENCE, LITERACY, AND POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT TO PREVENT SUMMER LEARNING LOSS AND MOTIVATE INTEREST IN STEM AND STEM CAREERS. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED MATH SCIENCE PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM SERVING THE ALLENTOWN SCHOOL DISTRICT AND A FEDERALLY-FUNDED PROGRAM IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CARBON-LEHIGH INTERMEDIATE UNIT TO HELP ART TEACHERS INTEGRATE DESIGN THINKING AND THE USE OF DIGITAL DESIGN, CODING, AND FABRICATION TOOLS INTO THEIR CURRICULUM. IN LATE 2017, THE CENTER WAS AWARDED A TWO-YEAR NATIONAL GRANT TO EXPAND ITS WISE INITIATIVE TO HELP BUILD A STEM LEARNING AND SUPPORT ECOSYSTEM FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS IN THE GREATER LEHIGH VALLEY AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. ALSO, THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE ALLENTOWN LIBRARY, THE BAUM SCHOOL OF ART, THE CIVIC THEATRE OF ALLENTOWN, COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS, THE GIRL SCOUTS OF EASTERN PA, AND THE UNITED WAY, THE CENTER IS ABLE TO OFFER EXPERIENCES INTEGRATING THE SCIENCES WITH THE ARTS, AND TO EXPAND THE PROGRAMS AVAILABLE FOR YOUTH FROM LOWER SOCIOECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS WHERE THE NEED IS THE GREATEST. HONORS AND AWARDS THE DA VINCI SCIENCE CENTER HAS ACHIEVED NATIONAL AND REGIONAL RECOGNITION, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: A) RECOGNITION OF THE CENTER'S MATH SCIENCE PARTNERSHIP AS ONE OF THE NATION'S 20 BEST PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. B) COMMUNITY SERVICES FOR CHILDREN'S 2016 INEZ AND EDWARD DONLEY AWARD FOR CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY IN RECOGNITION OF PUBLIC SERVICE THAT IMPROVES QUALITY OF LIFE SIGNIFICANTLY FOR CHILDREN. C) THE UNITED WAY OF THE LEHIGH VALLEY'S 2014 INNOVATOR'S AWARD FOR COLLABORATING WITH SCHOOLS IN THE COMMUNITY TO INSPIRE STUDENTS TO EXPLORE SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS (STEM). IMPACT THE CENTER'S IMPACT CAN BE MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS SERVED AND THE IMPACT OF SCIENCE LEARNING EXPERIENCES ON STUDENT LEARNING AND CAREER PLANS. IN FY2018, OVER 149,000 PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN DA VINCI SCIENCE CENTER EXPERIENCES. OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS, REGIONAL WORKFORCE INITIATIVES DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH INDUSTRY LEADERS HAVE EXPOSED THOUSANDS OF PARTICIPANTS IN CENTER EXPERIENCES TO STEM CAREERS. MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE NUMBERS SERVED, CENTER EXPERIENCES HAVE RESULTED IN SUBSTANTIAL AND INDEPENDENTLY MEASURABLE INCREASES IN STUDENT LEARNING AND INTEREST IN SCIENCE BY STUDENTS IN URBAN SCHOOLS. TO HELP STUDENTS AND THE REGION THRIVE, STUDENTS NEED THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEEPLY EXPLORE THE STEM DISCIPLINES. TRUE STEM EDUCATION TRANSFORMS THE TEACHING AND LEARNING EXPERIENCE, CONNECTS LEARNING TO RELEVANT REGIONAL CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AND ECONOMIC GROWTH CLUSTERS, GIVES STUDENTS A LEG UP IN COLLEGE, AND-ULTIMATELY-BUILDS THE NEXT GENERATION OF PROBLEM SOLVERS, INNOVATORS, INVENTORS, COLLABORATORS AND LEADERS. DA VINCI SCIENCE CENTER PROGRAMS ARE CHANGING THE TRAJECTORY OF STUDENTS' LIVES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGION. FUTURE PLANS IN NOVEMBER 2016, THE DA VINCI SCIENCE CENTER ENTERED INTO A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF EASTON, PA TO EXPLORE THE FEASIBILITY OF BUILDING A 21ST CENTURY SCIENCE CENTER IN THE CITY'S WATERFRONT AREA. TO DATE, THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA HAS COMMITTED 20 MILLION TO SUPPORT THE PROJECT, AND THE CITY OF EASTON HAS PLEDGED 25 PERCENT OF THE PROJECT COST UP TO 30 MILLION, INCLUDING THE COST TO PURCHASE PROPERTY FOR THE NEW COMPLEX. IN JANUARY 2018, THE CITY ACQUIRED THE SITE, AND IN OCTOBER 2018 THE SCIENCE CENTER COMPLETED A COMPREHENSIVE MASTER PLAN FOR THE PROJECT. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES IS CURRENTLY EVALUATING PLANS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE EASTON PROJECT. AS DESIGNED,THE PROPOSED 120-150 MILLION COMPLEX - TENTATIVELY CALLED DA VINCI SCIENCE CITY - WILL BE A MAJOR DRIVER OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY FOR EASTON AND THE ENTIRE LEHIGH VALLEY REGION. DA VINCI SCIENCE CITY IS PROJECTED TO ATTRACT 450,000 OR MORE VISITORS ANNUALLY; CREATE UP TO 160 PERMANENT FULL TIME EQUIVALENT JOBS, AND PRODUCE UP TO 40 MILLION IN DIRECT ECONOMIC ACTIVITY ANNUALLY. THE PROPOSED NEW DA VINCI SCIENCE CITY VENUE WILL COMPLEMENT THE DA VINCI SCIENCE CENTER'S FACILITY IN ALLENTOWN, PA. CONTINGENT UPON PLANS FOR THE EASTON SITE, THE ALLENTOWN SITE WILL BE RE-FOCUSED AS A DA VINCI CHILDREN'S DISCOVERY CENTER, SERVING CHILDREN AGES EIGHT AND UNDER AND OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, THE SCIENCE CENTER WOULD PLAN TO INVEST APPROXIMATELY 5 MILLION IN NEW EXHIBITS AND PROGRAMS AT THE ALLENTOWN SITE WITH THE INTENT TO CREATE A WORLD CLASS RESOURCE IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION.
