ANNUALREPORT PACIFIC SCIENCE CENTER | 2013

For more than 50 years, Pacific Science Center has played a leading role in creating programs and exhibits that inspire and inform people of all ages about science and technology. Our hope is that visitors will apply what they learn to their own lives, and make changes that range from starting an exercise program to reducing their contributions to carbon dioxide emissions. This year’s report will delve into seven issues that define our region as a leader in science and technology—sustainability, science education, wellbeing, economic vitality, young scientists, science literacy and STEM leadership. From the Wellbody Academy exhibit, which illustrates ways to make healthy lifestyle choices, to the Mercer Slough Environmental Science and Technology Practicum’s role in promoting careers in clean and green technologies available in the region, we’ll explore the myriad ways Pacific Science Center contributes innovative, yet practical solutions to the issues facing our communities. We’ll also underscore how the Science Center engages the broader public in these conversations, creating greater understanding of science and its impact on our lives.

Every day, we learn more about how human activities impact the planet. As a science education organization, one of our goals is to help people recognize these impacts and understand how individual choices contribute to the health of our environment. Key to this work is inspiring people to start changing their behavior. One of the ways we do this is to lead by example. This past year, we modeled an ethos of sustainability by continuing our commitment to the principles of the Living Building Challenge™, which define some of the highest levels of environmental performance

A BILITY available for buildings. In collaboration

with the community and through leaders in sustainable building, we launched our sustainability initiative and implemented strategies to reduce our impact on the environment. In keeping with these efforts, we also took steps to demonstrate the power and potential of renewable energy. Sonic Bloom, our artist-designed installation developed in partnership with Seattle City Light, uses solar cells to power a dazzling display of light, highlighting how renewable energy can be harnessed to help us all adopt earth-friendly habits.

From First Lady Michelle Obama’s focus on physical fitness to the appearance of salad bars in school cafeterias, health and wellbeing have catapulted onto the national stage. And there’s good reason for it. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than one-third of U.S. adults and approximately 17 percent of children are obese. And research shows that this generation of youth could be the first to

WELL live shorter lives than their parents.

For Pacific Science Center, several key

questions emerged: How do we help create

healthier communities? And how can we help empower individuals with the knowledge to make better choices about their health? Our solution was to develop programming and exhibits that help visitors gain greater awareness and understanding of their bodies, allowing them to make informed choices and improve their overall health.

Pacific Science Center aims to inspire visitors by showcasing rare and uncommon experiences that might otherwise be unavailable in our region. Last year’s special exhibition, Tutankhamun: The Golden King and The Great Pharaohs, is a perfect example of the kind of programming that ignites people’s imaginations and opens doors to previously unknown worlds. These types of large attractions not only bring together our community to learn and explore, but also draw visitors from outside the region, adding to the vibrancy of our city and stimulating our economy.

ECONOMIC Almost 700,000 people attended the exhibition, with the majority of visitors coming from areas outside of King County. When viewed purely as an educational and cultural exhibition, Tutankhamun was extremely successful. But the exhibition also had an economic impact, and we’re proud to have played a role in supporting our region’s economy.

Through our Discovery Corps program, high school students are immersed in inquirybased science activities while gaining valuable job and leadership skills.

YOUNG SCIENTISTS

23

MAKING CONNECTIONS Through our youth education programs, Pacific Science Center creates the space for young minds to imagine what it might be like to be a scientist or engineer. To help youth understand some of the many fascinating applications involved in science, technology, engineering, and math, we create opportunities for them to meet and interact with professionals in the STEM fields. By forging interesting and educational connections between young people and scientists, we hope to inspire the next generation of science leaders.

MERCER SLOUGH ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATIONAL CENTER The Mercer Slough Environmental Educational Center is a collaboration between the City of Bellevue, which owns and maintains the buildings, and Pacific Science Center, which creates and runs the programs. In 2012– 2013, Pacific Science Center added two, eight-week Environmental Science and Technology Practicum programs to our year-round educational program on wetland ecology and environmental stewardship. Ten high school students participated in each session, representing public and private high schools from the greater Puget Sound area. The students explored environmental science, clean and green technologies, and learned first-hand from high-level professionals about potential careers in these fields. For many participants, it was an unprecedented opportunity for in-depth investigations in field and laboratory environmental research.

SCIENCE MAKING SCIENCE ACCESSIBLE

26

PACIFICSCIENCECENTER.ORG PACIFICSCIENCECENTER.ORG

One of the cornerstones of Pacific Science Center’s mission is to make science fun and accessible for people of all ages. Our exhibits and education programs take science out of the laboratory and bring it into the community. Our Portal to the Public programs, including Science Cafés, which take place at local pubs or other gathering spaces, Scientist Spotlights, and Research Weekends help people learn more about science and its applications.

LITERACY These nontraditional learning programs rely less on lectures and more on open dialogue about current issues in science and technology, helping people see the relevance of science to their daily lives. Portal to the Public programs do this particularly well, as participating scientists are trained to speak about their work with general audiences of all ages through our Science Communication Fellowship program.

SCIENCE LITERACY

27

DEMYSTIFYING SCIENCE We all benefit from a deeper understanding of the world around us, which is why Pacific Science Center is passionate about helping people become more scientifically literate. In 2012–2013, programs such as Science Cafés, Scientist Spotlights, Research Weekends, and the second annual Seattle Science Festival made science and technology topics accessible to those without science backgrounds.

PORTAL TO THE PUBLIC This past year, Portal to the Public programs provided opportunities for face-to-face interactions between guests and scientists, promoting an understanding of current scientific research and its applications. Pacific Science Center also continued to focus on expanding its Portal to the Public Network by training and supporting institutions around the nation to offer their own Portal programs.

SCIENCE CAFÉS Science Cafés increased in popularity during 2013, bringing together professional scientists and inquisitive science enthusiasts in the comfortable atmosphere of a neighborhood café or pub. Science Cafés begin with a brief presentation by a scientist, followed by an extended discussion between the scientist and audience. This past year, Science Café topics included climate science, evolution and religion, robotics, technology, and healthcare.

Pacific Science Center lost a great friend and

Rowena Lee, one of our long-serving and most

passionate advocate with the passing of Mary

cherished volunteers, passed away on November

Center’s earliest volunteers, serving for nearly

and contagious smile brought our exhibits to

50 years, including time as a Board Member

life through dynamic interpretation. As a Senior

from 1977–1982 and co-chairing Festival of the

Science Interpreter and true champion of Pacific

Fountains with her husband, Bob Wiley, in 1969

Science Center, Rowena acted as a mentor for

and 1970. Through many selfless acts, Mary

fellow volunteers and employees through many

Ann continually revealed her passion for science

key exhibits, beginning with the 1984 exhibit,

education and strong commitment to Pacific

China: 7,000 Years of Discovery. Rowena brought

Science Center: Mary Ann and Bob graciously

an ease with guests that all of our volunteers

hosted guests visiting the Science Center in their

strive to emulate. Among staff, Rowena was

home for extended stays and for special evenings;

known for her unending patience and how
