Long Island Science Center's Board of Youth Trustees

 The Long Island Science Center now has an Advisory Board of Youth Trustees!   The board of young adults from grades 10-12 are charged with examining the museum’s exhibits and curriculum, expanding our public relations, increasing our involvement in social media, and supporting fund raising efforts.  They have elected officers, and will keep appropriate records for their meetings. Each meeting of the youth trustees is overseen by the Director and will meet 6 times (or once a month) before the end of the school year.

Riverhead High School and the LISC working together

The LISC and RHS are working together again this year! They started the year building Rupe Goldberg Machines! When they’re done with that, they will build catapults, then on to rocketry! These are ninth-grade students in Riverhead High School’s “Smart Physics” class, and their rockets, bridges and catapults are projects they’ve undertaken in conjunction with the Long Island Science Center in downtown Riverhead. We are so excited to be part of "Smart Physics"  again this year!!
