Explorers support of the Museum’s Annual Fund allows us to bring new exhibits to life, create hands-on educational programs, and generate content to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders.

I support the Museum because I think it's critically important that more people understand and trust science.  We are making advances in science every day, but they won't help society if individuals don't take advantage of this knowledge.
