Lucy Mission

STEM For All is coaching Future Scientists on Lucy Mission. We will have a public display of the mission by about the end of November. This will be part of the science center we are building.

What Kind of Science Center Are We Building?

Imagine a Science Center
where 
YOU can
See an Exhibit,
Touch it,
Play with it,
Experiment with it,
Break it (accidentally),
Repair it,
Rebuild it,
Improvise it,
Make a Replica and Take it Home
Here, you will not only be inspired, YOU will inspire others
.
YOU can be a student who will be building the entire science center.
