Denver Museum of Nature and Science

This grant will support two critical phases of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science’s Youth and Teacher Initiative. During the 15-month project, the team will develop new programs that will (1) partner more closely with public school districts and community organizations; (2) address more effectively the new Colorado model content standards for education; (3) provide multiple-experience informal science education opportunities for students, their teachers and their families; (4) add programming to support English language learners; and (5) overcome barriers to participation for low-income and underrepresented audiences.
