Rosa Parks: School Partnership with OMSI

A grant from the American Honda Foundation is funding a unique partnership between OMSI and Rosa Parks Elementary. OMSI staff members visit the school regularly to expand teachers' science curriculum, provide workshops where parents can learn easy, at-home science projects, and bring students back to OMSI to explore exhibits and participate in lab experiences. The partnership

highlights our commitment to STEM education and supporting the local Portland community.
