About us
One of the world's largest science centers and New England’s most attended cultural institution, the Museum of Science, Boston introduces 1.5 million visitors a year to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) via dynamic programs and hundreds of interactive exhibits. The Museum of Science carries out its mission as a leader in transforming the nation’s relationship with science and technology through world-class exhibits, industry-leading curriculum, and innovative programming. As science and technology shapes our lives, it means we: • Promote active citizenship • Inspire lifelong appreciation of the importance of science • Make STEM accessible to young people of all backgrounds and abilities These principles manifest every day in all we do within the Museum walls as well as around the world, as a steward of our community, as informal and formal educators, and as advocates for scientific advancement. Since its founding in 1830, the Museum of Science has been at the cutting edge of scientific study and education. Today it has become an iconic symbol of the city’s long cultural and technological history – and future. Within its ¾ mile long building, the Museum of Science includes: • 10,000 square foot Hall of Human Life, allowing visitors to explore how they engage with their own bodies • Thomson Theater of Electricity, home to the world’s largest Van de Graaf generator which makes indoor lightning • Charles Hayden Planetarium, the most technologically advanced theater in New England • Mugar Omni Theater, New England’s only dome IMAX screen • Award-winning pre-K – 8 engineering curriculum, EiE, reaching 1.3 million students each year As a leader in the world’s museum community, we use our role as educator and communicator to bring diverse communities together to learn, share, and consider our collective role in the future of our planet.

Associate Professor and Associate Dean for Research Samantha Daley's project, "Intrinsic Motivation in Science Museums: Learning from and Broadening Participation of Visitors with Learning Disabilities," is highlighted in a National Science Foundation (NSF). In collaboration with the RMSC (Rochester Museum & Science Center) and the Museum of Science, Boston, this project focuses on the learning and engagement experiences of youth with learning disabilities in informal learning environments, such as science centers and museums.

A tremendous thank you to MA Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll, Secretary of Education, Patrick Tutwiler, PhD, Museum of Science President, Tim Ritchie, and all the staff and students at Bradley Elementary School in East Boston for a fun morning of STEM with our Engineering Plastic Filters design challenge! There is nothing we love more than to see students engaging in STEM, learning and collaborating with one another, and challenging each other and themselves to make the best designs possible for our challenges. Today was a special day for us at YES- Youth Engineering Solutions & EiE - Museum of Science, Boston, and--as an amazing team member said--a great reminder of why we do what we do. This year's MA STEM Week theme was "STEM starts now," and we couldn't agree more. Whether you're in preschool, middle school, college, or beyond-- you can learn about and engage with STEM now. Because STEM is for everyone. Thank you to WCVB Channel 5 for reporting on the visit, and capturing the energy and excitement of STEM in action at Bradley Elementary School. Watch the visit here: https://lnkd.in/eKkkTQUT. And check out the design challenge the students worked on here: https://lnkd.in/dsuzEBZf.

We are so proud of our partner, Museum of Science, and its work to make STEM education accessible to all. As part of #MassSTEMWeek, students from East Boston were joined by Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll and Secretary of Education Patrick Tutwiler as they participated in the Museum's 2024 Engineering Design Challenge. Through the challenge, students considered the effects of plastic pollution and worked together to engineer filters to reduce plastic waste. We can't wait to see what these young innovators do next. #STEMStartsNow #SeeYourselfinSTEM https://lnkd.in/eKkkTQUT
