Success Stories

The Da Vinci Science Center uses five measures to assess the educational impact of programs. These measures are derived from current research on Informal Science Effectiveness and Educational Impact Measurement Methodologies.

Knowledge + Skills + Engagement + Attitudes + Behavior = Impact

Explore the success stories that demonstrate the educational impact of our programs on those we serve.
