Project Name: Arizona Science Center’s Hands-On Science Discovery
Programming for Low-Income Youth
Grant Award Request: $150,000
Please provide a brief description of the project being submitted to the 12% SRPMIC Grant
program.
Thousands of young people in Arizona’s low-income elementary schools may never have an
opportunity to participate in interactive, challenging and fun science experiences designed to
ignite their curiosity and reveal their interests and aptitudes in science, technology, engineering
and math. Arizona Science Center believes that all children, regardless of their socioeconomic
status, should experience science by visiting the Center and exploring four levels of more than
300 hands-on exhibits, experiencing live science demonstrations at the Center, and engaging in
hands-on activities in the classroom that bring science alive.
Arizona Science Center 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 Trips and Science on Wheels are fundamental
programs of Arizona Science Center and are essential to fulfilling our mission to inspire, educate
and engage curious minds through science.

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 programs bring the excitement
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 staffing, supplies, transportation and other services required to provide, on a
complimentary basis:
 150 Science on Wheels outreach programs or the equivalent, of an estimated 5,625 youth
in grades preK-8, including the production of kits and consumables.
 Focused Field Trip experiences for an estimated 5,625 youth in grades K-8.
 Pre-field trip orientation workshops for teachers.

If the amount of funding received is less than the amount needed for the project, do you have
other funds to complete the project? (Please Explain):

will enable the Center to offer services to 11,250 youth and educators attending schools in the
Maricopa County community. If the amount of funding is under the requested $150,000, the
Center will need to adjust program reach in accordance with awarded funding.
