Aside from financial challenges, the change to more programming for children has been enjoyable for education director Karyn Knecht and her staff. She’s been able to see many of the same kids enrolled in both school-year child care and summer camps.
“Normally, it’s a little different because if you’re a science museum educator, you usually visit a school or have a weeklong camp,” Knecht said. “We’ve had the same kids here for most of the school year now. We’re in summer camp mode but we still see a lot of the same kids. It’s a fun change, and I know with the tutoring center, it’s a nice place where some of the students of color in town can come and have tutors that are like them and support them.”
