Thank you to everyone who supported STEAM—science, technology, engineering, art and math—education and the mission of the Science Center this year for Giving Tuesday!
Our mission “to ignite and sustain lifelong science and technology learning” wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our philanthropic partners, donors, members and community. From each of us here at the Science Center, we want to thank you for choosing to support science education in the St. Louis region for Giving Tuesday.
Support from donations, memberships and our community enables the Science Center to connect guests and members of the St. Louis community with impactful science and technology education experiences through open, accessible STEAM galleries, on- and off-site education programs, public events and so much more.
Your support also helps power our nationally recognized Youth Exploring Science (YES) Program. For more than 22 years the YES Program has connected teens from across St. Louis with STEAM through hands-on exploration and mentoring. Teens in the YES Program explore areas like aerospace, agriscience, engineering, cybersecurity and more to gain skills for the jobs and opportunities of tomorrow. YES Teens—many from traditionally underserved communities—also help spark our community’s interest in STEAM with outreach programs at the Science Center, through community partner organizations and at pop-up science events.
“A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made a gift in support of the Saint Louis Science Center for Giving Tuesday this year. In the midst of the global pandemic we’ve seen science and technology play an important role in our world, but STEAM is also a fundamental part of our daily lives and our future. Supporting accessible STEAM education experiences like those here at the Science Center is an investment in the young people today who will become the innovators, researchers, healthcare professionals and STEAM-skilled workers ready for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.”
–Amy Martin, Senior Director of Individual Giving, Membership and Events
