12% Gaming Grant Program Application
Calendar Year 2020
About the Grant Program Application:
The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community 12% Gaming Grant Program ("Program") application
will serve to provide a comprehensive review of the programming requests for Arizona cities, towns,
counties, non-municipal public service organizations, and non-profit organizations selected to apply for
grant funding. It is not the intent of the Program to award grants that would benefit individuals, be used
as sponsorships, be used for religious activities, primarily fund the indirect or administrative costs of a
program/organization, or be used for the direct benefit of the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian
Community.
Date of Application: August 30, 2019
Organization Name: Arizona Science Center
Organization/Municipal Government Mailing Address: 600 E. Washington St., Phoenix, AZ 85004
Organization History: (Provide a brief summary of the origins of the organizations and any notable
milestones and/or significant audit findings)
The Junior League of Phoenix conceived Arizona Science Center in 1980 as a pilot science center.
Incorporated as a private, nonprofit corporation in 1982, the Science Center opened its doors to the
public in 1984. The Center hosted more than 87,000 visitors during its first year of operation. Today,
Arizona Science Center welcomes more than 500,000 guests annually. Growth in attendance and an
increasing demand for informal science education programs led to the construction of what has become
a 184,000 square foot science and educational complex at 7th and Washington Streets in downtown
Phoenix.
Recognizing the need to support Arizona's teachers and to provide them with STEM tools that bring
science alive in the classroom, the Freeport-McMoRan Foundation Center for Leadership in Learning
became part of the Center and its newly formed Learning Division in 2011. The Center provides K-12
teachers, school leaders, and parents with access to an innovative combination of formal and informal
professional development resources to enhance student achievement.
Inspired by the productivity and production of an inventor's workshop, the creativity of an art studio,
the experimentation of a lab and the connectivity that common workspace affords, CREATE at Arizona
Science Center is a 6,500 sq. ft. makerspace where people of all ages are provided with training and
access to traditional and high-tech equipment to learn new skills and better understand occupations for
which they may be suited, or to advance their existing expertise and talents. Through the use of state-
of-the-art, computer-controlled equipment and traditional crafting tools, visitors have opportunities to
cut, saw, code, hammer, sew, paint, solder; practices many of our young people are no longer exposed
to in school or elsewhere. Utilizing 3D-printers, laser cutters, soldering irons and sewing machines,
100,000 young people, families, teachers and adults have made use of CREATE since its opening in 2015

Project Name: Arizona Science Center's Hands-On Science Discovery Programming for Low-Income
Youth
Provide a brief description of the project being submitted to the 12% SRPMIC Grant program. In the
description provide a summary of the relevant experience, administrative activity, and program
development related to the grant request.
At Arizona Science Center (ASC), we know that tomorrow's scientists, astronomers and engineers begin
their career journey in school as children, and that exposure to and quality of science education they
receive can help shape this path. Unfortunately, the financial strain on Arizona's educational resources
continues to put pressure on classrooms across the state, and especially in rural and low-income
communities. Teachers are continually having to do more with less, and don't have sufficient resources
to provide comprehensive science education programs.
Driven to help meet the critical need for quality STEM learning experiences in Arizona's public schools,
especially for low-income students, Arizona Science Center created the Focused Field Trips program.
Focused Field Trips make it possible for students and teachers from K-8, Title I schools (where at least
40% of students qualify for the National School Lunch Program) to visit the Center free of charge, and to
learn about STEM in tangible ways through over 300 hands-on exhibits, live demonstrations, and
interactive galleries, and to bring back what they learned to the classroom.
Focused Field Trips are open to all K-8, Title I schools in Arizona. The program delivers much-needed
STEM education to underserved students and their teachers in three important ways. First, the program
includes a pre-field trip workshop for teachers that helps to familiarize them with the Center and its
offerings, and provides guidance for pre- and post-visit in-class activities. Second, it facilitates field trips
that are organized and structured, yet fun, and can be customized to students' current topics of study.
Finally, it removes the cost barrier by providing both the field trip and educator workshop free of
charge. ASC has been hosting Focused Field Trips for over 30 years.
Science on Wheels is another fundamental program of ASC and is essential to fulfilling our mission to
inspire, educate and engage curious minds through science. ASC has been providing Science on
Wheels programs for twenty years. Led by our Learning and Outreach staff, Science on Wheels brings
the excitement of hands-on science discovery directly to classrooms, libraries, and community-based
organizations throughout Arizona. With a selection of 54 distinct, 60-120 minute STEM lessons for K-8
students and 19 lessons for pre-K students, Science on Wheels provides engaging learning experiences
through classroom programs, live demonstrations, group assemblies, Family Science Nights, and other
activities. This type of outreach is especially important for rural and low-income areas where visiting ASC
is difficult.
ASC respectfully requests $150,000 from the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community to support
the delivery of Hands-On Science Discovery Programming for Low-Income Youth in Title I schools in
Maricopa County. The proposed program, which will be offered at no cost to participating school
children and teachers, will feature field trips to the Center (Focused Field Trips), educator training
for teachers accompanying their students on field trips, outreach workshops delivered directly to
classrooms (Science on Wheels), and standards-based, curriculum-enhancing resources that will
better prepare teachers to deliver informal, extra- curricular science programs. These programs fill
a unique niche by combining formal, professional development opportunities for teachers with
engaging, hands-on science learning opportunities for their students. The end result is more
meaningful and impactful experiences for students and teachers alike.
Focused Field Trip gallery guides for teachers are designed by professional development staff.
Science on Wheels lessons and demonstrations are reviewed each summer by Learning staff to
determine what new lessons will be added and how current lessons need to be changed or
updated.
Children learn by doing and they remember what they have personally experienced. These
programs are based on the widely held belief that providing relevant and engaging learning
opportunities with real world application to young people increases their interest in STEM subjects
and their academic performance (Heilbronner et al, 2011). Students on field trips have the
opportunity to learn and experience STEM in unique ways, including building their own electric
circuits in Get Charged Up gallery, experiencing a tornado in Forces of Nature gallery or exploring
more than 300 hands-on exhibits. Science on Wheels brings the excitement of more than 70 distinct
programs of hands-on science discovery directly to classrooms through the use of demonstrations
and workshops.
Over the course of the year, the programs outlined in this grant will serve 11,250 low-income youth
in grades preK-8 who may not otherwise have these opportunities to experience the programs and
resources of Arizona Science Center.
Support from Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community's 12% Gaming Contribution Funds would
underwrite program staffing, supplies, transportation and other services required to provide, on a
complimentary basis:
• Science on Wheels outreach programs or the equivalent, for an estimated 5,625 youth in
grades preK-8, including the production of kits and consumables, up to 150 programs.
• Focused Field Trip experiences for an estimated 5,625 youth in grades K-8.
• Pre-field trip orientation workshops for teachers.
ASC has a successful history of providing enriching interactive experiences, exhibits and programs that
incorporate cutting edge technology and age-appropriate STEM education programs. ASC operates on a
balanced budget, is debt free, financially stable and has adequate operating reserves and working
capital.
ASC's Chief Learning Officer, Beth Nickel, has over 25 years of experience as a teacher and administrator
in public education. She has led educational reform and change across the country at the school and
system level. In her role at ASC, Ms. Nickel provides opportunities for students, teachers, and
community groups across the state to engage in high quality science experiences. Ms. Nickel earned her
M. Ed. Elementary Education and completed her 6th Year Program in K-12 Administration and
Supervision at the University of Kentucky.
