A four year $1.658 million National Science Foundation grant has been awarded to the Chicago Zoological Society, which manages Brookfield Zoo, in partnership with Eden Place Nature Center, to support the development and implementation of the SCIENCES Program -- Supporting a Community's Informal Education Needs: Confidence and Empowerment in STEM (science, technology, engineer, and math).  Researchers and community members will work together to develop a comprehensive and relevant program of STEM classes, workshops, and experiences for youth, adults and families in Fuller Park.  Read the CZS press release or watch the press conference (below) led by Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle at Eden Place Nature Center.

Email us or call (773) 624-8686 for more information about how to get involved with SCIENCES as a volunteer or educator, or to share
ideas about STEM programs you would like to see in Fuller Park.

National Science Foundation grant is a marvelous opportunity. That's a good thing they have raised the price to such a number. Investing into Fuller Park will make its benefits for sure.
