About us
One of the world's largest science centers and New England’s most attended cultural institution, the Museum of Science, Boston introduces 1.5 million visitors a year to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) via dynamic programs and hundreds of interactive exhibits. The Museum of Science carries out its mission as a leader in transforming the nation’s relationship with science and technology through world-class exhibits, industry-leading curriculum, and innovative programming. As science and technology shapes our lives, it means we: • Promote active citizenship • Inspire lifelong appreciation of the importance of science • Make STEM accessible to young people of all backgrounds and abilities These principles manifest every day in all we do within the Museum walls as well as around the world, as a steward of our community, as informal and formal educators, and as advocates for scientific advancement. Since its founding in 1830, the Museum of Science has been at the cutting edge of scientific study and education. Today it has become an iconic symbol of the city’s long cultural and technological history – and future. Within its ¾ mile long building, the Museum of Science includes: • 10,000 square foot Hall of Human Life, allowing visitors to explore how they engage with their own bodies • Thomson Theater of Electricity, home to the world’s largest Van de Graaf generator which makes indoor lightning • Charles Hayden Planetarium, the most technologically advanced theater in New England • Mugar Omni Theater, New England’s only dome IMAX screen • Award-winning pre-K – 8 engineering curriculum, EiE, reaching 1.3 million students each year As a leader in the world’s museum community, we use our role as educator and communicator to bring diverse communities together to learn, share, and consider our collective role in the future of our planet.

Only 73 southern resident orcas remain in the Pacific Northwest. Can AI help save them? 🐋 Conservation technologist Gracie Ermi is using machine learning & AI to help researchers identify & track orcas—without disturbing them. The AI-driven code identifies individual orcas from drone images, allowing researchers to track their well-being more accurately and efficiently. This project is funded by Lyda Hill Philanthropies. #Whales #Orcas #Conservation #Science #WomeninSTEM #AI

Did you know over ONE MILLION students engaged with our Youth Engineering Solutions (YES) curricula last year? That's right—over one million brilliant young minds engineered solutions to real-world problems using our design challenges. As we celebrate National Engineers Week, this is a great time to celebrate that all of YES's research-backed, classroom-tested unit guides are available to download for free and that we also offer pre-made materials kits for purchase to help make implementation quick and easy. If you know any group of youth—whether in a class, afterschool program, or camp—who would benefit from engaging, hands-on learning, download our free curricula and spread the word!
