Hosting #SidewalkScienceCenter 3-5 days a week provides an incredible chance to interact with my local community in truly impactful ways.
I want to share an email and a Facebook response from some people who have visited SSC:

....of SSCs all around the world. In fact, over the weekend, I reached a Patreon goal that will allow me to hire my first educator by March 2021! It's exciting to know I'll have a regular teammate alongside me.

My mission for hosting free educational experiences in public spaces is to establish permanent Sidewalk Science Centers in local communities, parks, beaches, and outdoor malls. In doing this, we promote regular engagement with and enable familiarization of the Scientific Method.
To date, I've hosted SSC a total of 260 times. On top of the free public sessions, I host private events, attend weekly Farmer's Markets, create my own science kits as extensions of SSC experiments, and even have free rental telescopes as part of our Second Light program.
There's more to the mission at Experience Daliona (the name of which is derived from science fiction books I've been writing for 16 years), such as environmental conservation and justice programs, but for now, Sidewalk Science Center and our other branches are leading the way.
