Program areas at Eureka McConnell Science Museum
Education: the Eureka Mcconnell Science Museum's "education" programs are the means by which we provide our direct steam education to elementary, middle, and high school students and their teachers. These programs include inquiry-based, hands-on extracurricular experiences (in class math tutoring, after-school steam, camps during school breaks, and field trips). Eureka provides over 95 summer steam camps on the cmu campus and overnight across Colorado. These programs are a week long and reach over 2,200 students. The Eureka also runs a full day universal preschool located on the new emerson school campus. Eureka also runs a half day mobile preschool that operates out of a bus and visits a mobile home village in clifton, co. Eureka offers over 10 adult traveling steam programs each year for participants from 55-95yrs old.
The remainder of our educational programs consist of "events- and "community outreach." Scheduled events include "family Science nights", during which families from throughout the region are invited to explore the Museum and to participate in hands-on activities that are designed specifically to fit the theme for the evening. These programs are intended to engage parents, children, and grandparents in various facets of Science, engineering and technology. Community outreach activities include providing hands-on activities for local and regional community fairs and events and providing educational programs at local and regional schools and libraries. Many of these outreach programs are provided at no cost to the community organizations.
Exhibits: the Eureka Mcconnell Science Museum provides a wide range of interactive exhibits and displays that engage students of all ages in asking questions and experiencing scientific principles in a "hands-on" manner. The exhibits are open to the public five days a week, and are available for school field trips and special groups by appointment. There are approximately 100 exhibits on the floor at any one time. Exhibits are changed and updated often by volunteers.
