Our mission is to introduce the marvels of science on a systematic, frequent and regularly scheduled basis, enabling them to experience, explore and personalize the resulting discoveries.Our primary goal is to build a science center that will provide critical but absent STEM resources to this specific population and children throughout the northeast. While working to raise the capital funds needed to build the center, we are delivering meaningful programs to our target student population. From an ROI perspective, we will have the capacity to change the lives of so many young people. All Mount Vernon public school children will visit the center at least twice a year for a 3-hours guided tour. All will also have the opportunity to participate in free after-school classes, weekend and summer programs, tutoring and mentoring programs. AP courses and college courses for high school students will be available, as well as programs for educators and parents.

NSSA at Mt. Vernon will directly enhance STEM-based education specifically for the underserved students of the Mount Vernon Public School System, of which 93% are of color. Working in partnership with our school leadership, every one of the students will visit the center at least two times per year for a three-hour guided tour of the interactive exhibits. We will provide a broad range of after-school, weekend and summer educational programs specific to STEM. We will also provide tutoring, mentoring, internships and community / parent engagement programs. To support transformational change, we will collaborate with a host of partners for the delivery of a curriculum that will have considerable impact on K-12 students’ exposure, access and success specific to STEM learning. The center will also provide an invaluable resource to all children of the northeast. Challenge The children in Mount Vernon are falling behind at an alarming and accelerating rate as they progress through the school system’s various milestones. The outlook for them is bleak unless we successfully intervene and interrupt this downward spiral. The results are and will continue to be a community with higher than average poverty, unemployment and crime. Mission Introduce the marvels of science to children on a systematic, frequent and regularly scheduled basis, enabling them to experience, explore and personalize the resulting discoveries. Science centers embedded in the community, embraced by the school system have proven to be successful interveners. Center Our success includes directly impacting the lives of the underserved students attending public school in annually with a state-of-the-art facility that is embraced by current and succeeding generations of students, parents, the school system and the surrounding corporate community. Our facility will impact academic studies and outcomes and influence career choices for years to come.
