Annual Report 2020 DEAR FRIENDS, We Are Pleased to Present to You the 2019-2020 Annual Report Annual Report 2020 DEAR FRIENDS, We are pleased to present to you the 2019-2020 Annual Report. In these uncertain times, Science matters—now, more than ever. With your generous support the Maryland Science Center continues its mission of underscoring the importance of science education in our everyday lives. In the more than 40 years that the Science Center has operated at its Inner Harbor location it is safe to say that there has never been a year quite like this one. When we closed back in early March, we thought it would be for a few weeks. We never anticipated that months later we would not only have to work to ensure that our mission endures, we would also have to reinvent ourselves to continue to serve our many audiences. That process continues today and we have adapted whenever, and wherever we can, as we have for decades. Initially, the Science Center migrated to a completely virtual presence. We worked to provide resources and programs to support parents suddenly faced with becoming in-home educators. We took our popular on-site experiences and moved them completely online. And our Education Team created innovative, livestream programs that allowed participants to work on activities at home with guidance from our team in real time. As summer arrived so did the in-person visits and a return to some familiar routines, but many others, especially our vital work in schools and Head Start programs, remained suspended. It was extremely gratifying to see visitors return to our building and we look forward to that day when we return to classrooms and day care centers, summer camps and libraries, and students on field trips return to the Science Center. Until that time we will continue to evolve as an institution. The Science Center is part of a community that values our signature brand of science education and together we will grow with time and change. It is your continued support as members of this community that give us the tools we need to remain vital. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, our staff, our volunteers, and all those who benefit from your donations we say Thank You. We are extremely grateful for our partnership and together we will continue the important work of the Maryland Science Center. Mark J. Potter David B.

  • The Guy's Guide to Baltimore
    The Guy's Guide to Baltimore 101 Ways To Be A True Baltimorean! By Christina Breda Antoniades. Edited by Ken Iglehart. Let’s assume, for argument’s sake, that you’ve mastered the Baltimore lexicon. You know that “far trucks” put out “fars” and that a “bulled aig” is something you eat. You know the best places to park for O’s games, where the speed traps are on I-83, and which streets have synchronized traffic lights. You know how to shell a steamed crab. You never, EVER attempt to go downy ocean on a Friday evening in the dead of summer. And, let’s face it, you get a little upset when your friends from D.C. call you a Baltimoro… well, you know. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Do you really know all it takes to be a true Baltimorean? ¶ Here, we’ve compiled a list of the 101 activities, quirky habits, and oddball pastimes, that, even if you only did half of them, would earn you certification as a true Baltimorean. Some have stood the test of time, some are new favorites, but all are unique to Charm City. If you’re a grizzled native, you’ll probably find our list a fun test that takes you down memory lane. And if you’re new in town, the guide below will definitely help you to pass yourself off as a local. ¶ So, whether you’ve been here 60 days or 60 years, we’re sure you’ll find something new (or long forgotten) in the pages that follow.
