IRS990/Desc0Management of the NC Science Trail-We partner with 103 science education entities across the state to bring awareness to SciEd opportunities for the public. Our partners include public and private museums, science centers, planetariums, wildlife centers, aquariums, zoos, botanical gardens, all of the NC state parks. We expanded our services in 2024 to offer additional educational resources to classroom teachers. We expanded from 89 to 103 science trail partners statewide. So many science venues provide great science education opportunities for visitors and residents to NC, but it is difficult to find all of the information in one place. Our goal is to partner with these organizations, bring awareness to their programs, and reach out to the public through both in-person and digital means, providing entertaining, intriguing, and educational information that encourages science engagement across the state. In 2024 our online content engagement grew to ~30,000 view per quarter, and we did science experiments with over 2400 kids at 24 statewide science education events. We had 32 volunteers in 2024 serving over 200 volunteer hours.
