Science just got a permanent seat at the table. California is adding science scores to the state school dashboard for the first time. Our own Megan Taylor, Chief Teaching and Learning Officer, put it well in @EdSource this week: "science practices and ways of thinking are through lines to helping learning happen — and way more fun." Our Summer Institute for Leaders is doing exactly that work, giving teachers hands-on tools to bring science into every part of the school day. 🔬✨ Visit the link in our bio to learn more.

Last week, the Exploratorium had the opportunity to help bring the @sfgiants Weather Day to life 🌤️🌩️⚾️ Thousands of Bay Area students took part in weather-related experiments and learned about how weather can impact baseball. Thank you, Oracle Park and @nbcbayarea for this amazing opportunity to bring science out to the ballpark!

Happy birthday to Frank Oppenheimer, the founder of the Exploratorium! 🎂🔬 Frank believed that science should be something you experience, touch, tinker, question, and play with. Thank you for giving us a home for curiosity, and for creating a community that continues to grow, learn, discover and explore together. We’re so grateful to carry your vision forward.
