New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science

Proyecto Futuro is designed to build science and math competencies by focusing on school/family interactions. The New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science will partner with the Albuquerque Public Schools for this project. Long term goals of the program are to involve parents in their children's education, foster positive attitude changes in students toward education, and to mutually reinforce positive messages from teachers and parents about how to learn and succeed in science and math. Implementation of the program will be accomplished through family science nights and professional teacher development sessions. Families will be engaged in bilingual math and science activities and receive take-home kits. Teachers will receive training and bilingual teaching materials
