EXECUTIVE MESSAGE

In the spirit of inquiry and discovery embodied by Benjamin Franklin, the mission of The Franklin Institute is to inspire a 2016 Annual Report 2016 passion for learning about Dear friends, science and technology.

Understanding the impact that science and technology have on our everyday lives has never been as important to our society as it is today. A decade ago, the idea that every mobile phone would have a built-in camera wouldn’t have seemed feasible. Gene editing and its vast promise for the future of medicine was on the horizon. In 2016, astronomers discovered a new planet orbiting beyond Pluto, and Pokémon Go took the world by storm with its innovative and addictive use of augmented reality. Reflecting on the past helps us understand how we got to where we are today— and where we might go in the future.

What follows is an inspirational reflection on our 2016. It was a year of growth and planning that has begun to set the stage for our 200th anniversary in 2024. It was a year in which we laid the groundwork for the Institute’s new Strategic Plan 2017–2024, which will guide the organization over the next eight years. Among its pillars are commitments to providing a world-class visitor experience; to science communication and helping adults understand critical issues so they can make informed decisions; and to impactful education programs that inspire interest in STEM careers for underserved children. This innovative plan will position The Franklin Institute as a model for science centers across the country and around the world.

One thing we know about The Franklin Institute—it is a place full of stories. Stories about learning and having fun, about wonder and discovery. We hope you enjoy our stories from 2016, and we can’t wait to see what stories we can create together as the Institute continues to evolve.

Warmest regards,

Donald E. Morel, Jr., Ph.D. Larry Dubinski Chair, Board of Trustees President and CEO 6 7

DESTINATION 2016 Exhibitions In 2016, the Institute hosted five special exhibitions and welcomed nearly 900,000 visitors. 194,000 were students who attended 2016 Annual Report 2016 at deeply discounted rates, including nearly 30,000 who visited completely free of charge through the Institute’s Student Access Program. The Nicholas and Athena Karabots Pavilion’s 53,000 square feet of state-of-the-art exhibition space makes shows like these possible at The Franklin Institute.

SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY Virtual Reality and Mobile App Launch

In this digital era, we aim to have The Annual Report 2016 Franklin Institute be the place where the public can experience the latest technologies, both as science experiences on site as well as tools they can use to improve their visit to the museum.

The Institute’s ideas were so compelling that the Pew Charitable Trusts funded them with an Advancement Grant to create and test the first ever Franklin Institute mobile To download app. From virtual reality experiences, to help navigating the building, to an The Franklin Institute app, interactive daily schedule, the app can visit www.fi.edu/mobile. transform the visitor experience.

In 2016, the Institute launched one of the most comprehensive virtual reality experiences ever produced at a museum, bringing the latest technologies to our community, both in the museum and at home.

Another of our efforts to open the Institute up after hours, Night Skies is hosted by Chief Astronomer Derrick Pitts and gives visitors the opportunity to explore a world beyond what the naked eye can see. The Joel N. Bloom Observatory is open for stargazing as are multiple other viewing stations on the Institute’s rooftop. When guests have had their fill of telescopic observing, they can grab a drink at the bar and enjoy everything else the Institute has to offer—planetarium shows, live astronomy presentations, and hands-on activities.
