Dear Friends,

The Nicholas and Athena Karabots Pavilion opened to the public on June 14, 2014 with a wonderful celebration. This project, more than eight years in the making, would not have been possible without your commitment to message the future of science and technology learning. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do to help The Franklin Institute reach more people than ever before.

As we step into our new roles at the Institute, we do so with deep gratitude and respect for the accomplishments of our predecessors. Dennis Wint led The Franklin Institute for nearly 20 years, and worked tirelessly with former Chair of the Board of Trustees Marsha Perelman to build the organization into one of the premier science centers in the world. Our task now is to build on their legacy, and to find new ways to deliver on the Institute’s mission to inspire a passion for learning about science and technology among young and old alike. To accomplish these goals we will rely on your help, and we invite your ideas, experience, and support.

To plan effectively for the future, we must build on lessons from the past. This annual report tells the stories of just some of the Institute’s many innovative projects that took place in 2013. During the last twelve months our programs continued to highlight the Institute’s strengths while simultaneously exploring exciting new directions as we work to reach more people in neighborhoods throughout the city, online, and at our historic building on the Parkway.

In this year’s report you will read about ways the Institute is expanding its reach and transforming STEM learning across the city and around the world. At the end of 2013 we were able to walk through the Nicholas and Athena Karabots Pavilion and imagine what it would become. Now we are thrilled to share the new exhibit Your Brain with visitors, and to let you use what you learn there, and in the other spaces in the new Karabots Pavilion, to imagine the future.

In the years ahead we look forward to continuing The Franklin Institute’s 190-year tradition of excellence as an integral part of Philadelphia’s rich cultural heritage and as a world-wide resource that sparks the curiosity of discovery and provides the tools for students, teachers, families, and adults to achieve their educational goals. Thank you for your support of The Franklin Institute. We look forward to continuing the journey with you by our side.

Warmest regards,

Donald E. Morel, Ph.D. Larry Dubinski Chair, Board of Trustees President and CEO

Its 10,824 aluminum tiles move in concert with the weather, allowing viewers to “see” the wind as it sweeps across the building, reflecting the movement of clouds and light. When longtime Chair of the Board of Trustees Marsha Perelman stepped down in December 2013, the Institute dedicated the Shimmer Wall to her, in recognition of her outstanding service.

Inside the new wing, the core exhibit Your Brain took shape throughout the year, from the supports for the Neural Climb, which are welded to the structural steel beams of the building, to the machinery for the tumbling room, which helps visitors to realize how much our senses depend on our surroundings. Teva Pharmaceuticals is the lead underwriter of the Your Brain exhibit. On the first floor, the STEM classrooms and the Laureates Conference Center became realities. With laboratory space for students and video conference capabilities for meetings, these additions will make even more learning and connection possible. On the third floor in the traveling exhibit gallery, high ceilings, special lighting, and temperature and humidity controls make it possible to display complex exhibitions and sensitive artifacts. 06 transf ormations transfor mations

New Strategic Plan Shapes Programming At the Institute, a new program targeted to adults, Science After Hours, was a smash hit on its first outing In 2013, The Franklin Institute directly reached 1.2 million people across the region through programming within in December.

The Franklin Institute Profiled as a “Magnetic Museum”

A new book published in 2013 includes a chapter devoted to The Franklin Institute as one of six highly successful museums in the United States. In Magnetic: The Art and Science of Engagement, researchers Anne Bergeron and Beth Tuttle investigated the organizational qualities of successful museums. The authors interviewed Institute staff and community leaders, and visited the museum to conduct their research. They concluded that the Institute’s strong Board of Trustees, its history of strategic planning, and its culture that emphasizes creativity and collaboration all combine to make the Institute successful. They cite President Emeritus Dennis Wint and Chair Emerita Marsha Perelman for their work over many years to help create an environment that fosters both educational success and financial sustainability. They also point to longstanding and highly effective collaborations with community partners including PECO, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and PNC, among others. The Institute’s leadership has empowered its staff to perform well, and has built trust among the museum’s stakeholders— lessons that the Institute will carry into the future, and that are documented for others in this absorbing study.

Before Your Brain was an exhibit, it was a set of ideas. The process of transforming those ideas into the exhibit itself, with physical pieces that amaze, inspire, and withstand the pounding of millions of hands, happens onsite—unlike at many other museums where this work is outsourced to commercial exhibit companies. First, the lead scientist determines what the audience wants and needs to know by consulting with a committee of scientific advisors and completing evaluations of concepts with focus groups. Next a full in-house team is assembled including content specialists, exhibit designers, media and prototype designers, an evaluator, graphic designer, project manager, and exhibit director. The team researches, brainstorms, visits other museums, and develops ways to communicate science content through unique interactive experiences. For each interactive a prototype, or model, is constructed and evaluators ask museum visitors to use it. The process evaluates the user interface of the device, whether it helps people understand the science or technology concept, and whether it’s fun. Sometimes the prototype needs to be scrapped, and then it’s back to the drawing board. But after an iterative process of modifications, most devices are worked into the overall story and design of the exhibition and drawings for their construction get sent out to bid for final fabrication. During the development of Your Brain, 21 devices were prototyped that didn’t make the cut, but the exhibit does include more than 50 interactives that went through our rigorous development process. This new exhibit is the Institute’s largest at 8,500 square feet, and contains more than 70 exhibit experiences, including the prototyped devices, media pieces, artifacts, specimens, artwork, and more than 350 graphics. After researching the science and engaging experts from around the nation, the Institute’s exhibit team dreamed up, built, and tested each device over a three-year period. The Institute also offers its exhibit development services to other museums that do not have an in-house exhibit development and design team

First Admission Ticket Donated

In May, The Franklin Institute accessioned into its collections the first admission ticket to the newly opened science museum sold here in 1934. James E. Gardner was ten years old at the time, first in line with his father, George S., on opening day, January 1, 1934. James recalls walking up the Institute’s “big steps to the entrance” and the guard telling them that they were the first to arrive. George then stowed the ticket away for safekeeping, a keepsake from that memorable day with his son exploring the brand new “Wonderland of Science.”

Nearly 80 years later, James donated his ticket back to “I had the ticket sitting in a jewelry box. I asked the Institute during a special ceremony that included Institute Staff Win Emmy Awards my daughter what should be done with it and his family and then-President and CEO Dennis Wint, she said I should give it back to The Franklin Four Institute staff won six Regional Emmy Awards for developing and producing a pair of inspiring videos that held alongside James’s favorite Institute attraction, the Institute; bring it home.”-James Gardner showcase The Franklin Institute Awards Program and the Philadelphia Science Festival.
