Exhibits: the eureka mcconnell science museum provides a wide range of interactive exhibits and displays that engage students of all ages in asking questions and experiencing scientific principles in a "hands-on" manner. The exhibits are open to the public five days a week, and are available for school field trips and special groups by appointment. There are approximately 100 exhibits on the floor at any one time. Exhibits are changed and updated often by volunteers.

Expenses: $408K

The remainder of our educational programs consist of "events- and "community outreach." scheduled events include "family science nights", during which families from throughout the region are invited to explore the museum and to participate in hands-on activities that are designed specifically to fit the theme for the evening. These programs are intended to engage parents, children, and grandparents in various facets of science, engineering and technology. Community outreach activities include providing hands-on activities for local and regional community fairs and events and providing educational programs at local and regional schools and libraries. Many of these outreach programs are provided at no cost to the community organizations.
