The New York Hall of Science was founded at the 1964–65 World’s Fair. NYSCI’s mission is to nurture passionate learners, critical thinkers, and active citizens through an approach called Design Make Play. NYSCI is committed to creating a world where everyone can contribute to scientific discovery and innovation, and where people learn to use science, technology, engineering, and math to tackle complex 21st century challenges. NYSCI welcomes 500,000 visitors annually, provides professional development for more than 2,500 local teachers, and offers 2,000 high-school and college students mentoring opportunities with STEM professionals. Over the last three decades, 95 percent of the more than 4,000 young people participating in NYSCI’s Science Career Ladder program have gone on to college, and 70 percent of its alumni work in STEM fields. CityWorks is a new interactive exhibit that explores the often invisible inner workings of the built urban environment and allows visitors to get hands on with the intricate systems that allow cities to function. The Great Hall features dalle de verre, an architectural technique that arranges small segments of glass within a concrete structure, and more than 5,000 2-by-3-feet panels of glass make up its facade. When it was built, the Great Hall was the largest poured-in-place concrete structure in the world. Beginning in 2008, NYSCI undertook a comprehensive modernization effort, including repairs to the exterior facade completed in 2009 and renovations to the interior and surrounding plaza completed in 2015.
