Our Science Career Ladder program provides opportunities for high school and college youth to develop career-building skills, grow from professional mentorship, participate in STEM learning opportunities, and engage with our visitors.

NYSCI’s access family programs and resources aim to bring neurodiverse children and their families together to learn and discover the wonder of science in an environment that supports the unique needs. Through hands-on exposure to new materials, tools, and experiences these free events provide opportunities to enjoy family time and allow parents to interact with others facing similar challenges and build a sense of community.

NYSCI is committed to engaging and empowering learners of all abilities to explore their strengths and skills in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) by fostering the excitement of self-directed exploration and by tapping into the joy of play in a safe, supportive and understanding environment.

The Designers-in-Residence (DiR) program has been created to infuse innovation and current design principles, thinking and insight into NYSCI’s Science Career Ladder.
