We combine the latest scientific findings of research and academic institutions with the interpretive expertise of science centers to develop exhibits, educational content, and outreach projects for the more than seven million annual visitors to more than 63 science education and research institutions, museums and nonprofit organizations throughout the Northeast. We have two chapters, one for New England and the other for Connecticut.
