2022 Annual Report

ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Friends of the Saint Louis Science Center,

The Science Center has a longstanding history of bringing science and technology to the forefront of our St. Louis community, delivering hands-on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) galleries, engaging programming, and unique experiences both inside the walls of the Science Center and out in our community.

As the Science Center looks to the future of the St. Louis region, STEM is increasingly a fundamental part of our daily lives and the opportunities of tomorrow. Additionally, among St. Louis’ top hard-to-fill jobs, many are reliant on STEM skills. As a public institution, we believe that connecting everyone with innovative and accessible STEM experiences helps inspire a curiosity for science and supports the development of important 21st century skills that will prepare our community for the jobs of today and tomorrow.

This look back at 2022 shows just some of the ways the Science Center has made an impact on inspiring curiosity for STEM in our St. Louis community. Last year, nearly half a million people engaged with the Science Center’s science and technology experiences and programming.

Our Youth Exploring Science (YES) Program also had an impactful year, delivering hands-on STEM learning to the community through efforts like Summertime Science and the STEMtastic Camp. Year after year, YES continues its legacy of success by working with teens from underserved communities from the St. Louis area throughout their high school years to prepare them for the in-demand STEM careers of the future.

As the Science Center continues to evolve, we’re excited about the role of STEM in St. Louis and the part that our organization can play in the future of our city, community, and region by delivering impactful, informal science education. Support for our mission to inspire everyone to be curious and engaged in science is the energy that powers every lightbulb moment, and we want to thank our community and philanthropic partners for making this possible through your collective generosity.

Sincerely,

Todd Bastean President & CEO

Mark J. Bulanda Chairman

Sustainability

Sustainable Futures Team

The Science Center’s Sustainable Futures Team (SFT) is a crossdepartmental team focused on developing, implementing, and increasing sustainability practices and education programming for the Science Center and its guests.

Here are some of the things we accomplished in 2022:

• Prototyped our first zero-waste event at the Member Preview for Becoming Jane: The Evolution of Dr. Jane Goodall

• Worked with Zoo-Museum District (ZMD) partners to successfully launch a pop-up Green Living Festival in June

• As part of the updated paleontology exhibit, invited guests to ask themselves, “What Can We Do?” to learn specific tasks (outside of recycling or other more obvious solutions) to help prolong the health of our planet

• Maddie Earnest, our GROW Gallery Manager, presented “Developing Whole Institution Sustainability Projects for Science Centers and Museums” at the Association of Science and Technology Centers Annual Conference

I’m kind of a museum junkie. I’ve never met a museum that I didn’t want to belong to, but this is so fun because there are so many different things. You never stop learning, and it’s such a fun way to do it.

Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion

One of our core values is being inclusive and welcoming to all. We believe in the importance of encouraging all people to see themselves in STEM and offering opportunities to engage with STEM experiences. In 2022, we continued delivering impactful science and technology programming that reached a number of communities typically underserved with STEM learning experiences.

• Our nationally recognized Youth Exploring Science (YES) Program represents our diverse community both in its staff composition (71% African-American) and in teen participants (98% are teens of color, 91% African-American).

• Our Summertime Science Program is entirely structured around reaching children from underserved communities through our community partners and includes free lunches in collaboration with Saint Louis Public Schools.

• Our Pop-Up Science summer activities travel to underserved neighborhoods to deliver STEM programming on location.

• We delivered STEM activities through programs like our STEMtastic Camp in Title 1 schools in Riverview Gardens and University City school districts.

• We strive to connect our community with role models of diverse backgrounds in our programming like SciFest, First Friday, and more.

Additionally, during the summer we engaged a DEAI consulting firm for professional development sessions focused on racial equity and inclusion for the Science Center team. Through these training sessions, our goal was to help equip our team members with the skills and knowledge to be better colleagues to one another as well as provide the best experiences to the diverse communities we serve. We intend to focus our efforts even further, with an emphasis on diversity, representation, and inclusion throughout the coming years.

Tanya Bergantz of Selvidge Middle School (Rockwood)

Congratulations to Ms. Bergantz, who was the 2022 recipient of the Saint Louis Science Center and Carol B. and Jerome T. Loeb Prize for Excellence in Teaching Science and Mathematics. Carol Loeb, who has been teaching high school math for more than 60 years, and her husband, the late Jerome T. Loeb, established the Loeb Prize in 1995 to honor effective teaching as a central component of quality education.

In Our Community

Community Science

Science happens everywhere. So whether it’s inside the Science Center or in the community, we make sure that our St. Louis educators and students have opportunities to collaborate and connect with science. A focus on the rapidly growing St. Louis science ecosystem is also something you’ll see grow even more in coming years.

Community Science at National Night Out, Tower Grove Astronomy Festival

We love getting out to events and showcasing science. In 2022, you could find us throughout St. Louis, including at National Night Out at Jackson Park Elementary in University City and the very first Tower Grove Astronomy Festival.

Pop-Up Science

Throughout the summer months, the YES Teens engaged the community with Pop-Up Science, a series of appearances that brought STEM activities to a number of St. Louis locations including parks, libraries, community centers, and more.

Lauren Patrick, Senior Educator, Presents at ASTC

Science Center team member Lauren Patrick, Senior Educator, Community Science, also presented at the Association of Science and Technology Centers Annual Conference. There, she was part of a group that discussed “Leadership in the Science Center, Garden, and Office: Empowering BIPOC Community and Organizational Leaders.”

We have a community network of over 60 partner organizations

YES Program

Youth Exploring Science (YES) Program

Starting in their freshman year of high school, YES Teens meet regularly at the Taylor Community Science Resource Center over the course of the fouryear program, developing the tools for a successful transition into higher education or careers in today’s STEM-skilled workforce. YES Teens go on to become engineers, healthcare professionals, community leaders, and much more. In YES, the teens also help spark our community’s interest in STEM at outreach programs at the Science Center, through community partner organizations, and at Pop-Up Science events.

Since the YES Program began in 1998, more than 1,200 teens have graduated from YES, and the program has engaged more than 206,000 members of the St. Louis community.

The YES Program for me is a reminder of a period of a lot of personal growth. During this time, YES has also helped me grow more confident in myself and better my own abilities, specifically in public speaking.

Congratulations to our YES Program Class of ‘22

In 2022, 13 teens graduated from the YES Program. With college and career goals spanning health education, computer science, chemistry, engineering, and more, these talented teens served as the latest generation in the YES Program’s legacy of success.

YES Graduating Class of 2022

Meet Adrianna Toran

With a full-ride Regent’s Scholarship to HarrisStowe State University, Adrianna is ready for her next step. She credits the YES Program with providing the exposure to people and experiences—like public speaking and working in a science-based business—that grew her love of science and helped her get to where she is today.

[The YES Program] meant a lot of opportunities and friendships for me. It’s prepared me for the major I want to go into, which is biology, animal science, or pre-vet. (I’ve wanted to be a vet since I was four years old.) I appreciate everyone who has been my supervisor and all of the friends I’ve made.

YES ‘22 GRADUATE

YES Program

STEMtastic Camp

These off-site summer camps (made possible thanks to generous support from Boeing) took place in the University City and Riverview Gardens school districts, connecting more than 300 students with STEM through fun, hands-on activities, while helping address the need for more equitable access to STEM learning for students in underserved communities, particularly to help prevent learning loss during the summer months. In the Engineering component, the YES Teens explored robots and coding with the students, while in the Aerospace component, they guided campers through designing gliders and testing them to innovate on their designs.

Summertime Science

YES Teens put their teaching and mentorship skills to use leading classes that engaged 982 preschool, elementary, and middle school students and 132 adult supervisors in STEM activities on health and anatomy; gardening, recycling and composting; and healthy meal preparation and planning. All the while, the YES Teens learned skills about leadership, collaboration, and professionalism.

We love to welcome back a familiar face!

Chastity Culberson, herself a graduate of the YES Program in 2002, joined the Community Science team as the manager of YES’s Aerospace component.

Creating a STEM Pipeline for YES Teens

We continued to provide opportunities for YES Teens to take their newfound passion for STEM into the working world with the YES College & Career Fair and YES Networking Extravaganza. The teens explored a range of pathways and careers available with nearly 20 colleges and local businesses at the YES College & Career Fair. The YES Networking Extravaganza connected YES Teens with professionals across a variety of fields and allowed the teens to practice important networking skills while FOX 2 news anchor Elliott Davis graciously served as keynote speaker and emcee.

Science Center Team Member Profile

I graduated from YES in May of 2021. The YES Program helped me develop soft skills and taught me how to interact with members of the community. I’m an engineering major, and a common saying in the industry is that the job isn’t just about being smart or knowing a lot, but you must also be able to communicate that knowledge in an effective and easy to understand way.

Whether it was teaching Summertime Science or being with the other teens, YES taught me how to communicate complex concepts in simple ways. Science can be daunting for some, so being able to be excited about it and communicate it well is a gift. Those skills aren’t just useful when interacting with the public here at the Science Center—they’re skills for life.

Discovery Room Reopens

The Discovery Room reopened, welcoming children under 6 and their caregivers back for hands-on learning. Upgrades and newly enhanced offerings in this engaging STEM space support social, emotional, cognitive, and motor development through early childhood education and the power of play.

Dana Brown Fossil Prep Lab

Real science. Real fossils. Casts from authentic fossils are on display here, and this year’s highlights included a juvenile triceratops frill (or head plate), trilobites, and other exciting specimen displays. In this space, guests are able to see science at work as volunteers clean and piece together fossils.

With a focus on the ways that studying past life helps inform decisions we make about our future and the future of our planet, we brought paleontology into the 21st century with this updated exhibit. This interactive, close-up and touchable experience brings to life what it means to be a paleontologist and explores how people can connect with fossils around them.

What’s New

GROW Gallery’s Root Towers

TRAVELING EXHIBITIONS

Becoming Jane: The Evolution of Dr. Jane Goodall

Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace, was the focus of this hands-on, transportive multimedia exhibition celebrating the renowned researcher, ethologist, and conservationist’s extraordinary life and work with chimpanzees.

Meeting Jane

Students from Compton-Drew ILC Middle School had the extra special opportunity to see and hear from this living legend when she visited the Science Center in October. They were able to learn about Dr. Goodall’s life, hear about how we can improve the world’s future and even got to submit questions for a Q&A and learn how to do the chimpanzee pant hoot.

The Science Center allows you to explore the world and understand [its] facets and idiosyncrasies, including the ones you never knew were there.

Science Center Member

As Wash U Women in STEM, part of our mission is to engage with our St. Louis community around science. The Saint Louis Science Center’s SciFests have become our favorite venue to engage kids in STEM activities. Scientists working in academia and industry come together with the common purpose of getting kids (and their parents!) excited about science.

SciFest events present a unique opportunity to visit and learn alongside a range of experts gathered for the day and are a great way to discover and explore both cutting-edge STEM applications, and those in our everyday lives from the people doing this as their profession and/or passion. For some, these interactions can lead to discovering a new interest in a STEM-related topic; for others, it’s finding a new hobby or future career track.

GUESTS ENGAGED

Education and Programming

On-Site Programs All Year Long

Guests became builders with our Makerspace Rigamajig, a large building kit encouraging creativity and hands-on STEM learning. Science Storytime exposed little ones to science-themed picture books and new vocabulary. Using authentic research tools and techniques, guests explored and discovered how every place can be a science lab by asking questions, making observations, and drawing conclusions. Science demonstrations at Energy Stage visually illustrated a number of topics, like climate change and ice science, in exciting—and sometimes explosive—ways! And Dino Chat returned under the watchful eye of the T. rex. All free and for all ages.

Science of Learning Instrument Design (SOLID) Project with the Sheldon Concert Hall

It was the sound of science. Students participated in a threepart project with an interactive demonstration from a Science Center educator and instruction from a Sheldon teaching artist. They also designed and created a musical instrument that was put on display in the Sheldon’s Gallery. This uniquely original program served 1,250 students across 27 schools.

Participation at ASTC Conference 2022

2022 saw Science Center team members in the spotlight on three different topics at the Association of Science and Technology Centers Conference, showing science centers across the country our incredible level of programming and engagement. We were proud and honored to showcase our educators on this national level.

• Esports: Doug Stanze, Director, Guest Services & Mike Harris, Manager, Computer Science

• Sustainability: Maddie Earnest, GROW Gallery Manager

• DEAI: Lauren Patrick, Senior Educator

Esports

Game On: Esports Takes Off

What started as an exhibit has expanded to more than we imagined, including the launch of the ROAR Esports League with Gateway Region YMCA and free XP Sessions where participants explore the basic concepts behind some of the most important topics in esports and gaming. We welcomed Girls Who Game and even partnered with the University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis on a summer esports camp series. Gaming is no game—in fact, it’s STEM and supports the development of 21st century skills and provides visibility for STEM careers.

I am proud to be a part of an institution where we encourage guests to geek out and spark their interest in anything science related. When I see that spark or can geek out with someone over a certain subject, I feel like I have done my job as an educator.

What’s Next

Throughout the process of creating a new strategic plan, the Science Center conducted and evaluated research to gain a future-forward understanding of the needs of our guests and community, what motivates our audiences, and what it means to be a beacon of science for our community. This deep study inspired our new vision, mission, and organizational values (page 6), as well as a new narrative and messaging strategy for the organization called “The Wonder of Whys.” It’s a story and a language we can invest and believe in because it lives in the organization at every level. It’s recasting science through a lens of context, consumability, and interest.

We must make the bigness of science approachable by making it interesting within the context of people’s personal interests. And everyone has their own “whys.”

The Wonder of Why

The exciting nugget at the core of curiosity is finding out the WHY of something. How things work. What things are. The reason. The solution. And the beauty of WHY is that everyone can ask it. Everyone can wonder. Everyone can seek out answers. Curiosity is naturally inclusive to all.

WHY is thrilling in its endless possibilities, mysteries, and unexpectedness. Find the WHY to one thing and you’re off to find the WHY to the next. WHY is ageless. WHY is what connects curiosity to answers.

It should be available for everyone to explore—whether you’re a scientist working with plants to feed the world or a 4-year-old discovering what it’s like to build for the first time. And what fuels it is an unrestricted wonder about how the world exists.

At the Saint Louis Science Center, the wonder of WHY is why we exist. To be a cutting edge catalyst for the excitement of WHY to those inside our building and outside our front door.

To erase limits that keep people from it, making it inclusive, equitable, free, and always changing. To, like science, evolve; creating excitement and pride that’s contagious for everyone from guests to stakeholders to the community.

WHY also connects our thriving St. Louis science-based ecosystem to everyone who visits. From BioSTL and Boeing to the Danforth Plant Science Center and Taylor Geospatial Institute, St. Louis’ science community is also always seeking out the WHY, and their thread of innovation and exploration runs through the Science Center and the entire metro.

The wonder of WHY is where it all begins. And the Saint Louis Science Center brings it to life.

On the Horizon

In 2023, we unveiled our new advertising campaign, which takes the idea of science, curiosity, learning, and community to an unexpected place.

As always we’ll continue to expand our focus on an equitable and inclusive society where people are passionate about science and use it to improve lives, transform communities, and empower future generations. Because wondering “why?” and uncovering the “whys” should be for everyone to discover together.

Our Role in the St. Louis Science Community

In the future, we’ll also be forging even greater collaborations with the St. Louis area science ecosystem. From geospatial science to AgTech to engineering and more, we’ll be making plans to fully tap into the extensive resources right in our own backyard. Our goal is for guests to understand their innovation and exploration through more exposure and access, while also gaining a better understanding of all the science pathways and careers available to them in the metro area.

On May 5, 2021, the STL 2030 Jobs Plan was announced. It provides a 10-year roadmap for boosting economic growth, increasing the number of quality, living-wage jobs, and reducing racial disparities in employment and wealth-generation to boost opportunities for all. As a proponent of science in the community, we want to not only connect ourselves even more intrinsically with the booming St. Louis metro’s science ecosystem, but also help support and tell its story to all who engage with us, while preparing people for the STEM jobs of the future.

We’re proud to play a role in the science of St. Louis.

I love that moment of seeing someone’s eyes light up as I’m explaining something, that ‘Aha!’ moment when something clicks and they understand it just a little bit more. But a very close second is the “Whoa! Cool!” that we often get with the things we create in Makerspace, and then being able to show someone how it’s made and how it works.
