my grandson's understanding of science concepts. He relates much of what he learned and experience this summer into his daily life. The sugar crystals he grew are now ready to be tasted! Now he wants to try other white powders to see what crystals form.
like to see them in a stand alone museum/education center. That way they wouldn't have barriers to hours of operation and would have complete access to all the exhibits at any time.
my ability to understand and share my passion for science. I have since developed a science program for my K-5 school district. Working with scientists and other professionals, I returned to college to earn my M.A. in Curriculum and Development.
help them establish a permanent site so that school groups would be able to visit and attend classes.
the attitude that everyone can benefit and have fun while becoming science literate.
extremely helpful and enthused about what they do. The principal and museum director of the YSC checked with teachers every day to ask if they have what they need to teach their unit in science in an interactive way.
build a museum that could house their extensive collections.
the YSC could easily access the materials they have.
publicity and monetary support to further their mission.
there have been many volunteers over the years that have contributed to making the YSC a relevant, and highly successful venture for science education.

As a parent of students who have attending several classes in the past, we have nothing but positive experiences from this organization.
give it a bigger budget to expand.
my children's interest and desire to learn more about science. That's something that can be hard to find in a public school setting.

Our students learn.
If I won the lottery I would assist YSC in reaching more young monds!
My personal experience is 2-fold: Science Educator and Parent. My experiences as a science educator is that students are getting" beyond textbook" experiences and opporutunities. My experience as a parent of children who attended is that they learned more than just science, but opportunities for collaboration, expression of scientific theory and why.
Give them more funding and larger site to run this organization. I would also give them more PR.
Very Well
Life-changing
Definitely
Run by a small staff but hits a large community.

Since I was a parent volunteer in the classroom I was able to watch my kids experience the oohhs and aahs of discovering science. It was a sheer pleasure to help the other kids too. I even got to learn a little myself when my son took a web design class
... build a bigger building to house their museum and have them offer satellite classes to the neighboring school districts.
The wide variety of classes and the GREAT, inexpensive field trips they offer every summer!
The teachers were excited to be there and it showed in their teaching. The volunteers were happy to be help too, just like I was.
. . . build a bigger building for their museum. Maybe they could even offer classes further away.
If it was closer to my home! 20 miles is far, but well worth the drive for what they offer.
As with any nonprofit - earning money to keep all the great programs going!
. . . now that my kids are getting older, I wish the YSC would offer summer classes thru high school.
