The goals of the Grassroots Science
Museums Collaborative are to:
Improve the public understanding of
science and technology.
Enhance science education in schools
and communities throughout the state
of North Carolina.
Enhance member institutions' efforts to
develop exhibits, programs and
scientific collections that focus on the
basic sciences and related
technological applications.
Serve as a vehicle for planning and
conducting cooperative projects that
strengthen services provided by
member institutions across North
Carolina.
Grassroots museums annually serve millions of citizens through general
visitation, teacher training and special programs. Programs include both onsite
and offsite presentations, and reach students in every North Carolina school
district. As a public/private alliance, for every state dollar allocated to
Grassroots museums, the institutions raise twelve dollars from private support.
Through Grassroots, North Carolina science centers are addressing statewide
issues relating to museums, tourism, industry, and basic math/science
instruction.
