2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends,

On a sunny day in April, I joined my colleagues and thousands of Minnesota families at the Kids Climate Rally on Kellogg Plaza. We came together because we know that science is critical to our nation’s future. We made signs supporting science, listened to inspiring stories from community members and young people from our Kitty Andersen Youth Science Center, danced, and celebrated the possibilities that science provides for each of us. Then, we departed the museum as a group and joined up with Minnesota’s March for Science. I was proud to represent the Science Museum at an event with such energy, enthusiasm, and hope for the future. We added our voice on the importance of science literacy in civic and economic engagement.

The March for Science festivities were among my favorite of this past year. They represent our commitment to be bold during a time of uncertainty in our nation. Today, science is more politicized than ever, making our work even more important. With your help, we engage curious minds, helping them see that they are the critically needed scientists of tomorrow. We must show our young people - especially girls and youth of color - that they can succeed in STEM careers. We need every mind engaged in solving our world’s issues and addressing our workforce needs.

Inspiring curiosity and sharing the potential of science is at the heart of all we do. Our school programs reached students in all 87 counties of Minnesota. Students learned to use science to decode the past, engineer solutions to real-world problems, and build a sustainable future. Our growing access programs opened our museum experiences to families and individuals in whom we have historically under-invested, inviting people of all ages to envision their futures in science. Our ongoing research on watershed issues makes us a valued participant in an international dialogue about this beautiful, all-encompassing, and increasingly threatened resource.

After a 2017 bright with success and possibility, we move forward together with a renewed pledge to share our mission of science and education. Through the work that we do in our exhibit halls, our labs, our classrooms, and our outreach efforts, we will show our growing audiences that scientific progress strengthens our world by improving lives and building a better community – and that we all play a role. We do this because science is essential. Thank you for your support.

With gratitude,

Alison Rempel Brown

SPORTS SCIENCE comes to life at the museum

Maybe you're a marathoner who enjoys scenic training runs around metro area lakes, or your passion lies on the court during weekend pick-up basketball games. Maybe you have an appreciation for classical ballet, or you’ve spent hours in the stands at Target Field, cheering for the Twins. Whether you’re a high performance athlete or a champion spectator, you’re in possession of a body in motion. The Science Museum invited you to discover more about it in 2017 with the premiere of the Sportsology exhibit.

Presented by HealthPartners Presented by HealthPartners and TRIA, Sportsology represents the first major and TRIA, Sportsology renovation to the museum’s resident exhibit galleries since the opening of represents the first major the riverfront facility in 1999. Covering nearly 6,000 square feet, the exhibit renovation to the museum’s touches on a wide range of topics – from balance and hand-eye coordination resident exhibit galleries to reaction time and nutrition for optimal performance. since the opening of the riverfront facility in 1999. The best part? Sportsology draws on the expertise of some of Minnesota’s most respected professional athletes, giving visitors the chance to compare their jump shots to Lynx guard Lindsay Whalen’s or challenge Paralympian Mark Braun to a race.

Sportsology is a perfect example of the Science Museum’s efforts to show visitors that science is an equalizing force. We all rely on our bodies to meet the physical demands of everyday life. Whether we’re high-performance professional athletes who make a living in intense competition or simply people who exercise for fun and good health, we all benefit from gaining a better understanding of what makes our bodies work. In Sportsology, visitors of all ages are doing just that – and having a lot of fun at the same time. HIDDEN FIGURES revealed in movie theaters – and at Science Fusion

The annual African Americans in Science event features the best and brightest scientists of color from the Twin Cities community. African Americans in Science has become a meaningful Science Museum tradition that helps kids see themselves in science careers.

Over its history, this tradition has grown into a museum-wide effort that draws thousands of visitors and features dozens of science professionals from around the state. Out of African Americans in Science rose the month-long Science Fusion event series, which devotes four Saturday afternoons to celebrating scientists from diverse backgrounds. Science Fusion events, presented by Donaldson Company, welcomed more than 15,000 visitors this year.

The 2017 African Americans in Science event featured its traditional presenter appreciation brunch, student awards, afternoon science fair-style event, and live music that visitors love. The program’s 25th anniversary also included a timely local science connection: Macalester College’s Dr. Duchess Harris, author of Hidden Human Computers: The Black Women of NASA.

Harris spoke to event attendees, telling the story of her grandmother, Mariam D. Mann, and a group of her colleagues who provided crucial engineering and critical thinking skills to the early years of NASA’s space flight program. Her story is also at the center of the critically-acclaimed Hidden Figures film, which opened nationwide just days before the event. Harris’ appearance blended science, history, and cultural cache to mark the quarter century milestone of a program that shows visitors of all ages and backgrounds that we all have the potential to be scientists who change the world for the better.

Inspiring the next generation of scientists isn’t Other students experienced the Science Museum something that we can do alone – we can do more at their school – either at a large-group assembly when we work together. That’s why partnerships with or through an in-depth residency on topics like educators and schools are so important in equipping engineering, water, electricity, and dinosaurs. Minnesota kids with the tools they’ll need to succeed Outreach programs like these put the Science in a STEM-rich workforce. Museum’s tools and expertise right in Minnesota’s classrooms and auditoriums, giving museum access In 2017, Science Museum education programs reached to students who might not have the opportunity to students in all 87 counties in Minnesota for the fourth visit Saint Paul. year in a row. Some of those students visited the museum on a school field trip, experiencing a giant-sized It’s safe to say that this year, Science Museum science lesson that they’ll remember for years to come. programs went to the state’s furthest reaches. An Field trip packages that include Science Live programs instructor even visited a one-room schoolhouse in and educator guides with pre- and post-field trip Angle Inlet, a tiny community in the northwest angle activities help educators connect their field trip with state of Lake of the Woods County.

For the students, the experience was well worth their instructor’s long journey. An Outreach instructor will return again next year. Sounds like the makings of a north woods science tradition!

There’s a whole lot of water on Earth! Students in a Science Museum Outreach program about water explored exactly how much (in gallons). In 2017, Science Museum education programs reached students in all 87 counties in Minnesota. A GIANT SCREEN FILM Moved by To the Artic, touched a giant heart with giant goals Soleil encouraged her classmates and teachers For nearly two decades, movie lovers have looked forward to Omnifest, an annual film festival that showcases the Omnitheater’s giant screen to learn more about the capabilities. Each year, the festival features classic films brought back by polar bear. visitor demand, as well as brand new features that use the giant screen plight of the format in breathtaking and unforgettable ways.

Omnifest 2017, presented by U.S. Bank, featured To the Arctic, a giant screen film that showed viewers the impact of climate change on the wildlife of the far north. Soleil, a nine-year-old Omnitheater fan and Science Museum member who visited with her family during Omnifest, was captivated by the film and inspired by the story it told. She was so inspired, in fact, that the film prompted her to rally to raise funds for polar bear habitat protection efforts.

All on her own, Soleil dreamed up a fundraising campaign, complete with bilingual flyers that she distributed at her language immersion school in Saint Paul. Moved by To the Artic, Soleil encouraged her classmates and teachers to learn more about the plight of the polar bear and, more importantly, to take action for a better future.

“Maybe her earnings will go nowhere beyond the ‘good luck dollar’ I kicked her donation box off with,” said Soleil’s dad, Mark, in an email to the Science Museum, “but just as important is that she is standing up and trying to act for something she finds important."

The Triceratops was discovered by emeritus paleontologist Bruce Erickson in the Hell Creek Formation in Montana in the early 1960s. A BELOVED dinosaur’s new digs

Level 3 saw some extensive renovations this year to make way for the Sportsology exhibit. One visitor favorite that found a new home within the galleries was the famous Triceratops. Discovered by emeritus paleontologist Bruce Erickson in the Hell Creek Formation in Montana during the early years of his career, the Triceratops has been one of the most treasured pieces of the paleontology collection since the early 1960s.

To move the prized specimen to its new location in the Dinosaurs and Fossils Gallery, the Science Museum’s crew needed patience (start to finish, the move took several months!), meticulous attention to detail, and about 900 friends who donated nearly $60,000 to support the effort.

It’s not every day that a dinosaur moves, and the Science Museum treated summer visitors to a science process story that they won’t soon forget. They watched staff prepare the new space, carefully disassemble the specimen, painstakingly move it, and reassemble it in its new home. Once the project was complete and the Triceratops was settled into its new digs, it welcomed visitors to its new location at a homecoming party unlike any other. YOUNG PEOPLE leading the way for a better future

AN ENERGY STORY heard round the world

The Science Museum’s advanced heat recovery system, which captures and reuses heat energy rather than discarding it, was a significant investment that promised to reduce our overall energy bills by nearly $300,000 a year. That’s quite a savings for a building that operates year-round in Minnesota’s often extreme climate.

The results are in, and the initial investment has paid for itself. Thanks to the greening of other museum energy sources (solar power now provides 26% of the museum’s energy needs), the Science Museum has cut its contributions to carbon dioxide pollution by more than 30 percent in just four years.

Patrick Hamilton, the museum’s Director of Global Change Initiatives, takes every opportunity to share our sustainability story with audiences of all kinds – from The Science Museum’s museum volunteers and Minnesota Public Radio listeners award-winning advanced to Ignite Minneapolis attendees and even delegates at international climate conferences. Ours is an ongoing heat recovery system success story that bears repeating – and replicating is saving the museum – by individuals and businesses around the globe. $300,000 a year on its utility bills and cutting carbon pollution by two million pounds annually.

CURIE SOCIETY CELEBRATES with an astronaut, a Pixar scientist, and more

Members of the Science Museum’s Curie Society get the opportunity to make personal connections with STEM professionals who have unique perspectives on current science issues.

This past year, Curie Society members saw a performance by Cantus in conjunction with Code + Chords, a project of the University of St. Thomas’ Playful Learning Lab, and founder AnnMarie Thomas. Thomas and her students are finding inventive play-based teaching techniques to engage kids in science learning. Curie Society members also got the first look atSportsology , meeting experts from HealthPartners and TRIA who lent their expertise to the exhibit, as well hometown hero Joe Mauer. They saw a screening of A Beautiful Planet and heard about life on board the International Space Station from NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore. They attended a panel discussion with leaders in environmental innovation from around the Twin Cities. They toured the bog and participated in bird banding at Warner Nature Center. They enjoyed the Curie Society Walk and Talk series, which gave them an in-depth look at the Weighing the Evidence exhibit and a peek into the future of the Paleontology Hall. And they rounded out the year at the preview event for The Science Behind Pixar, where Pixar scientist Tony DeRose shared his efforts to inspire the next generation of storytellers to study computer science, engineering, animation, and design.

Thanks for a great year, Curie Society members. The Science Museum is grateful for your generous support.
