1 Bringing Science to Life and Lives to Science Dear Friends, for more than 127,000 people annually in eastern It hardly seems possible that it has been 20 years since a handful of dedicated professionals and graduate students opened our first hands-on science visitor experience inside Pennsylvania and western New Jersey a former Bethlehem Steel building. With your ongoing support, the Da Vinci Science Center has flourished in ways that few could have imagined while remaining true to our mission: To bring science to life and lives to science. From humble beginnings, we served more than 127,000 people in our record-breaking 2015 fiscal year, and we have established our role as a regional leader in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.

Over the last five years, we have grown our attendance by an average of 12 percent annually, Vincent Sorgi widened the geographic area of families we serve, and expanded our Outreach Programs to Chairman, Da Vinci Science Center serve more underrepresented students. While these numbers demonstrate our growing Board of Trustees impact, we take greater pride in our role influencing students' lives, science education in Senior Vice President and schools, and our region's economic development. We are committed to helping make STEM Chief Financial Officer, PPL Corporation concepts come alive for students, teachers, and families so they see the important connections to real world applications, STEM careers, and their lives. As the evolves as a technological innovation hub, we play a vital role in filling the pipeline of tomorrow’s workforce.

Knowing that there is much more work to be done, we have embarked on a data- and community-driven assessment over the past year to understand our current situation and develop a renewed vision and strategy to guide us going forward. This includes evaluating the potential for a major expansion in the Lehigh Valley that would enable us to bring science to life and lives to science for thousands more in our community and strengthen our focus on serving youth and families with the greatest need.

As we look back on 20 years of hands-on science and consider opportunities for greater impact, we know that our success would not be possible without tireless support from volunteers, community partners, and generous donors like you. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and we hope you will join us as we explore our future investment in the community.

With heartfelt thanks,

Lin Erickson Executive Director and CEO, Vincent Sorgi Lin Erickson Da Vinci Science Center Chairman, Board of Trustees Executive Director and CEO

2 Celebrating 20 Years of Hands-On Science

The organization known today as the Da Vinci Science Center opened its first hands-on science visitor experience in Bethlehem, Pa., in 1995 with support from Lehigh University, the Junior League of the Lehigh Valley, and the Bethlehem Junior Women’s Club. This bold endeavor grew from the success that the Center and its partners earned while hosting broadcasts of the world- renowned JASON Project for school students. During the first year of that visitor experience, more than 25,000 individuals experienced the wonders of science firsthand, while deepening their understanding of important concepts and sparking their interest in science.

In the two decades that have followed, more than 1.3 million people have participated in Center programs. During the 2015 fiscal year alone, the Center provided hands-on science learning experiences for 127,720 individuals at the Center, in area schools, and at community sites.

As you will learn on the pages that follow, the Da Vinci Science Center’s story is not just about the numbers of people served, but its impact on the lives of individual students, science education in area schools, and the economic development of the region.

Additional Visitor Programs and Events Popular programs and events during the 2015 fiscal year included the Center’s annual Egg Drop Challenge in the spring, Leftover Science on Thanksgiving weekend, and the Frozen Science series of events and shows during the winter holiday season. 14 Even Greater Impact: Planning for the Future

The Da Vinci Science Center Board of Trustees and staff engaged in a data-driven strategic planning process during the 2014 and 2015 fiscal years to guide the Center’s future development. The Trustees formally adopted a new Strategic Plan in Sept. 2015.

The planning process stressed the importance of enlarged and updated facilities to enable the Center to fulfill its mission and play an even greater role as a center for STEM education in the Lehigh Valley. The Strategic Plan directs the organization to pursue a bold expansion presenting world-class exhibits and learning experiences for the nearly one million people living in its surrounding area.

In fall 2015, the Center embarked on a nine-month assessment to explore a wide range of possibilities for expanding its facilities at its current location and adding other sites throughout the Lehigh Valley. 15 2016-2019 Strategic Plan
