• THE REMAINDER OF OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS CONSIST OF "EVENTS- AND "COMMUNITY OUTREACH." SCHEDULED EVENTS INCLUDE "FAMILY SCIENCE NIGHTS", DURING WHICH FAMILIES FROM THROUGHOUT THE REGION ARE INVITED TO EXPLORE THE MUSEUM AND TO PARTICIPATE IN HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES THAT ARE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO FIT THE THEME FOR THE EVENING. THESE PROGRAMS ARE INTENDED TO ENGAGE PARENTS, CHILDREN, AND GRANDPARENTS IN VARIOUS FACETS OF SCIENCE, ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY. COMMUNITY OUTREACH ACTIVITIES INCLUDE PROVIDING HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES FOR LOCAL AND REGIONAL COMMUNITY FAIRS AND EVENTS AND PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AT LOCAL AND REGIONAL SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES. MANY OF THESE OUTREACH PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED AT NO COST TO THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
