CultureShift: Michigan Science Center receives NASA grant to advance STEM projects in Detroit
This prestigious funding will help the center create new spaces for local students, caregivers and educators to explore the wonders of the universe where we are.
The Michigan Science Center
The Michigan Science Center will continue to inspire the next generation of young science lovers with a new grant from NASA’s Engaging Affiliated Museums and Informal Institutions (TEAM II) program and TEAM II Community Anchor Awards. This prestigious grant will give Detroit-area kids access to a wide range of programs and initiatives related to STEM. Through this project, Mi-Sci wants to get out in the community to host learning experiences that allow students, caregivers and educators to explore the wonders of the universe where we are.
Christian Greer is the Mi-Sci Executive Director. He joined CultureShift to discuss what the new grant will look like for local communities, the center’s upcoming summer programming and what adults can learn from today’s kids.
“The way of the future is transdisciplinary, multidisciplinary. Ways in which we look at all these things like science, technology, engineering, math, art, design, music, all these things these kids want to see and do. And so we want to put them in our programs.” — Christian Greer, Mi-Sci Executive Director
