From its origins as the US Science Pavilion at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, Pacific Science Center has expanded and diversified its programs while remaining true to the original vision of our founding scientists and civic leaders to be a resource of scientific information for the general public. Each year, Pacific Science Center's on-site and outreach programs serve approximately one million people. 0 0 12486773 7516401 Visitor Experiences: From robotic dinosaurs to the Tropical Butterfly House, Pacific Science Center houses a number of regionally iconic exhibits. Visitors to PSC, who average close to a million each year, engage with a wide range of hands-on exhibits and educational programs that inspire them to ask questions and seek answers. Additional exhibits include the Puget Sound Tidepool model, Body Works, the Insect Village, Naked Mole Rats, Genetics and many others. Our institution also hosts a wide variety of travelling exhibits throughout the year; our reputation has continued to grow throughout the decade as a result of hosting and helping create several landmark exhibits including Discovering the Dead Sea Scrolls in 2007 and Lucy's Legacy: the Hidden Treasures of Ethiopia in 2008.Pacific Science Center is the only science center in North America with two IMAX theaters. IMAX films give educators, students and families exciting opportunities to explore new worlds. Educational documentary-style films focus on a broad range of subjects covering the environment, nature, geography, the arts, technology, space exploration and more. 1964446 138857 EDUCATION: A) WASHINGTON STATE LASER- GIVEN THE EVER-INCREASING COMPLEXITY OF TODAY'S SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, SCHOOL DISTRICTS NEED THE BEST TOOLS, THE BEST INFORMATION AND THE BEST SUPPORT AVAILABLE. WASHINGTON STATE LASER (LEADERSHIP AND ASSISTANCE FOR SCIENCE EDUCATION REFORM) PROVIDES PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE, SHOWING TEACHERS AND EDUCATORS THE BEST METHODS TO PRESENT INTERACTIVE SCIENCE EDUCATION IN THEIR CLASSROOMS. THE PROGRAM IS A PARTNERSHIP AMONG PACIFIC SCIENCE CENTER, THE NATIONAL SCIENCE RESOURCES CENTER, THE WASHINGTON STATE OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, PACIFIC NORTHWEST NATIONAL LABORATORIES, EDUCATIONAL SERVICE DISTRICTS AND LEADING WASHINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICTS.B) PORTAL TO THE PUBLIC- AS PART OF OUR BROAD PORTAL TO THE PUBLIC INITIATIVE, PACIFIC SCIENCE CENTER CREATES AND HOSTS EVENTS THAT BRING SCIENTISTS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC TOGETHER. THESE EVENTS PUT A REAL HUMAN FACE ON THE RESEARCH HAPPENING AT THE UNIVERSITIES, GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND COMPANIES THAT ARE RIGHT IN OUR OWN BACKYARD. THROUGH COLLABORATIONS WITH SUCH INSTITUTIONS AS THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON AND THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION (NOAA), PACIFIC SCIENCE CENTER HAS HOSTED EVENTS SUCH AS EARTH REVEALED, MARINE EXPLORATION WEEKEND, POLAR SCIENCE WEEKEND AND LIFE SCIENCES RESEARCH WEEKEND. THE PORTAL TO THE PUBLIC INITIATIVE IS FUNDED BY THE NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION. 1711685 1544320 THE PACIFIC SCIENCE CENTER OPERATES THE MERCER SLOUGH ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CENTER IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CITY OF BELLEVUE, WHO OWNS THE BUILDINGS AND LAND. LOCATED ON A 320-ACRE WETLAND IN THE HEART OF URBAN BELLEVUE, THE MERCER SLOUGH ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CENTER (MSEEC) HOSTS FIELD TRIPS, SLEEPOVERS, CAMPS, EXPEDITIONS, INTERNSHIPS, PARTIES AND PUBLIC OUTREACH PROGRAMS, ALL WITH A COMMON PURPOSE: TO PLANT SEEDS OF WONDER AND CURIOSITY ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL HAVE A LIFELONG IMPACT. HERE, CHILDREN AND FAMILIES EXPLORE THE NETWORK OF TRAILS, WATERWAYS AND WILDLIFE AND THEN RETURN TO THE MSEEC TO STUDY THE SCIENCE BEHIND WHAT THEY'VE SEEN. SCIENCE ON WHEELS- EACH YEAR, SCIENCE ON WHEELS TRAVELS THROUGHOUT THE STATE TO BRING FUN, INFORMAL EXPERIENCES WITH SCIENCE TO SCHOOLS, FAIRS, AND COMMUNITY EVENTS. USING VANS FILLED WITH EXHIBITS AND DEMONSTRATION MATERIALS, SCIENCE ON WHEELS TEACHERS PRESENT PROGRAMS ON A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS, INCLUDING GEOLOGY, PHYSICS, MATH, ASTRONOMY, ANATOMY, AGRICULTURE, AND ENGINEERING. THE PROGRAM IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR THOSE COMMUNITIES WHO ARE GEOGRAPHICALLY ISOLATED AND ARE WITHOUT ACCESS TO MUSEUMS, UNIVERSITIES AND SCIENCE CENTERS, SO THEY CAN EXPERIENCE SCIENCE IN A LIVELY FORMAT NOT AVAILABLE IN THE CLASSROOM.ACCESO A LA CIENCIA- ACCESO A LA CIENCIA IS DESIGNED TO INCREASE THE INVOLVEMENT OF LATINO STUDENTS, PARENTS AND FAMILIES IN SCIENCE AND INFORMAL SCIENCE EDUCATION. THE PROGRAM RECRUITS LATINO TEENS FROM ACROSS EASTERN WASHINGTON AND GIVES THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE ADVOCATES FOR SCIENCE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. AT FAIRS, SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY CENTERS, THE INTERNS SET UP AND INTERPRET BILINGUAL EXHIBITS AND PERFORM ENGAGING BILINGUAL SCIENCE SHOWS, ALLOWING FOR HANDS-ON SCIENCE EDUCATION TO REACH A NEW AUDIENCE. FUNDED BY A NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION GRANT, THE PROGRAM IS A UNIQUE COLLABORATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT COMMUNITY RESOURCES: PACIFIC SCIENCE CENTER, YAKIMA VALLEY/TRI-CITIES MESA, RADIO KDNA, AND WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY TRI-CITIES.DISCOVERY CORPS- PACIFIC SCIENCE CENTER'S DISCOVERY CORPS PROGRAM WORKS TO INSPIRE TEENS (AGES 14-18) TO CONSIDER A CAREER IN SCIENCE BY GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND WORK AT OUR MUSEUM.
