Science Center Of Pinellas County

Description

• The Science Center has been offering quality science programming to students in grades K-12 for more than fifty years. This has been our main focus. Preparing our students to be prepared for the 22nd century has required a reinvention of ourselves to a discretely focused STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education facility the only of its kind in Pinellas County. In addition, one of our innovative programs in Cyber Security provides us a unique position within our nation. With our discrete STEM programming, we effectively adopted a much broader mission. Education, and more importantly STEM education, cannot be effective without the integration of industry needs and support. We believe that industry is the ultimate customer of the educational process. The factory must be linked between K-12, informal education, post secondary, and beyond to internships, mentorships and into appropriate industry. In preparing our students for 22nd century skills and jobs that might not yet exist, our integration of STEM and career skills development becomes even more critical. Our Center is developing pathways with industry and post secondary education that provides students opportunities for industry certifications, internships, job placements and college degrees; all rooted in STEM foundations. Never losing sight on our original education mission, our Center will continue to be actively involved in supporting and contributing to the development and advancement of educational models for students and teachers. In working with the National Science Foundation, the Helios Foundation, NASA, the University of Floridas Lastinger Center and others, the Center hopes to be a contributor to future STEM education research initiatives and hopefully position ourselves as an informal leader in the field of STEM education and research.
