This is the blog of Learning Places. The Learning Places program results from a four-year grant awarded by the National Science Foundation to the St. Louis Science Center (SLSC) in partnership with the Science Museum of Minnesota (SMM.)  Learning Places provides teenagers with a variety of opportunities to explore and evaluate the components necessary to create the physical spaces that will engage and excite younger children about Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM).

This is the blog of the YES Parents as Partners program. In an effort to increase parent involvement in the Youth Exploring Science program, a parent advisory board was established in November of 2006.  This program provides parents of YES teens with an opportunity to play an active role in the future goals and objectives of the YES program.  Additionally, YES Parents as Partners provides parents with a forum where ideas, questions, concerns, and resources are exchanged.

 

This is the blog of the Science After School program. The Science After School program has worked in conjunction with the Science Center’s YES teen program for nine years.  The YES teens bring inquiry-based science activities to local elementary schools and community sites throughout the year.  This semester, the YES teens are working with the Saint Louis Public Library's after school programs.

This is the City Science Blog. One of four main components of the Saint Louis Science Center’s YES program, City Science is a YOP tax credit program  focusing on science within the context of urban environments.  While in City Science, YES teens engage in a variety of hands-on, inquiry-based science labs while participating in professional development and life-skills workshops.
