Gift from the philinthropic community and beyond. Visitors of all ages, dan, all ages, and backgrounds will come here by the millions to nurture their curiosity. Science teachers in the bay area and around the country will call it their professional home, artists will continue to collaborate with scientists here. And Science Education institutions around the world will benefit from the research and the innovation that will occur here. This has been a true journey, long, and rewarding. A culmination of years and planning and hard work, not just by the exporatorium staff and board, about whom i cant say enough. [ applause ] but also by the city and the state including many of you here today. The exporatorium is really all about collaboration. Collaborativive learning, collaborative decisionmaking and collaborative management. And this process has been a true collaboration, bringing together the staff and the board, government agencies, neighborhood associations, our fellow San Francisco

And as of this morning, the public now has a chance to see what all of you have been up to these past many, many months to see this come to fruition is truly a programmable and satisfying and it is really a new crown jewel for the cit
Was a true labor of love for the board. Two factors made our job actually quite easy. First, everyone in the bay area loves the exporatorium. [ applause ] and second, it is an institution that in its first 43 year has made a big impact in the world. What you see here is the end result of a lot of work by thousands of people. We see this space not just as a new campus, but as a transformative platform from which to multiply our impact, those within the museum and also beyond its walls. It is a great honor for me to represent the entire board along with two chairman ameriti who are both here today, dan casper and bill bos. Both of who played. [ applause ] both of whom played critical roles in making this happen. Over a decade, im thrilled to be placing this first ring on our beautiful new bell, this ring represents visionaries and designers, the dreamers, architects and imaginers, of the exporatorium, thank you very much. George, thank you very much. Please welcome now, dr. Dennis bartel
