Museum
Without Walls
 Since
1996, The Museum Without Walls has fulfilled the educational
mission of the Discovery Center. Until you can come
to our building, we will come to you! .
The Museum Without Walls offers innovative
educational opportunities at schools and at other venues. Our current
outreach programs include: Family Science Night, RAYS, Science Theatre,
STARLAB, and the teen program. These programs seek to inspire interest
in science and technology for students of all ages. Program materials and
activities conform with National Science Standards, Benchmarks for
Science Literary and the State of California Science Standards.
The newest Museum Without Walls program is the Discovery
Teen Program. Teens
with a serious interest in science are recruited from high schools
and middle schools in the surrounding region.The Teens participate
with interactive, “cool” science at their monthly
meetings. They accrue their community service credit for college applications
by assisting with Discovery Center programs and by assisting other
community service organizations.
Museum Without Walls programs are staffed by approximatley100
scientists, engineers and teachers who volunteer their time.
