  • Changing Lives
    The Franklin Institute 2007 Annual Report CHANGING LIVES 2 Executive Message 4 The Franklin 10 Center for Innovation in Science Learning 16 The Franklin Center 22 Financial Report 24 2007 Contributed Support 34 Board of Trustees The Franklin Institute links science and curiosity, engaging each of us in a lifelong adventure of discovery and exploration. The Institute has become a dynamic agent of change through its rich array of internationally recognized exhibitions and programs, lectures and discussions themed to illuminate issues in contemporary science, community outreach initiatives particularly targeted to girls and to urban youth, and its series of innovative partnerships in public education. The Franklin Institute’s universal appeal is reflected in the diversity of its audience — from world famous working scientists to involved citizens of any age; from elementary school through university level students; from inner city to suburban families. All are drawn here by a common interest in science and technology. Executive Message The mission of The Franklin Institute is to inspire a passion for learning about science and technology. Through the development of a broad range of visitor experiences, the Institute drew record attendance in 2007, demonstrating that it is easier to fulfill the Institute’s mission with a building full of people.
