Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Genspace's mission is to foster a safe and inclusive community where all people including those from non-traditional and underrepresented backgrounds can experientially learn, boldly create, and meaningfully grow with the life sciences. We envision a world where everyone is empowered to use the life sciences to explore questions and develop applications that are connected to their lives and rooted in their communities.
-
We employ a range of informal education strategies to teach youth and adults the fundamental lab skills and scientific concepts they need to participate in the life sciences. Our programming prioritizes hands-on, collaborative, active learning based in biology education research best practices. We emphasize Interdisciplinary practice and the social and cultural context of scientific research and discovery. Genspsaces core education and engagement programs include: - A regular schedule of short courses and workshops on cutting edge topics from biomaterials and sustainable design to bioinformatics and gene editing with CRISPR - A membership program in which individuals, teams, and university scholars pursue novel research, art, or design projects in our open-access biology laboratory - A six month intensive synthetic biology internship for underserved youth and youth from underrepresented backgrounds in NYC- A rotating roster of free, public events for students, families, and adult learners

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
