Celebrating 20 Years of Hands-On Science

2015 Fiscal Year Community Impact Report 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 Lehigh University 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. FY 2015 Visitor Distribution by Zip Code 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. FY 2015 Outreach Participation 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 by Zip Code 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 Lehigh Valley 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,
