Where STEM Comes to Life
NYSCI’s mission is to nurture passionate learners, critical thinkers, and active citizens through an approach we call Design Make Play.
Exhibition Spotlight
SciSkate
Open through February 23, 2024, SciSkate is a way to enjoy the winter wonderland feeling while staying warm. It is also a unique way to learn to skate. We have booties and skate aids, in addition to skates, and our Explainers are always around to help!

DESIGN LAB
Special Experiences
Being a scientist isn’t just about what you know; it’s about what you know how to do. When you visit Design Lab, you’ll encounter design challenges, lots of raw materials, and opportunities to engineer solutions to real-world problems. Challenges in Design Lab invite you to take risks, share your ideas, and get new perspectives on engineering and design.
Design Lab is made possible with generous support from Phyllis and Ivan Seidenberg, the Verizon Foundation, the Golden Family Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, and the Xerox Foundation. The Verizon Foundation provided seed funding for Design Lab that supported the participation of teachers to contribute to and inform the exhibition.
SPECIAL PROGRAMS
Community Engagement
We collaborate with local schools, families, and community-based organizations in developing and implementing STEM experiences including programs, events and resources that provide our community with multiple pathways for engaging and exploring STEM.
