-The Monterey County Gives! team.
The mission of the Greenfield Community Science Workshop (Greenfield CSW), a program of the City of Greenfield, is to serve as South Monterey County's science education resource center, available to students, teachers, families, and citizens interested in science learning and discovery through interaction and contact with the physical and natural word.
Ciencia en Movimiento (ScienceMobile) is an interactive science museum on wheels serving South County, from Chualar to San Ardo. Focusing on Hispanic, English language learners, and socioeconomically disadvantaged students, the ScienceMobile narrows the educational opportunity gap with accessible, inclusive, and relevant science education.
The ScienceMobile enables students to:
A. Explore and play with dozens of interactive exhibits covering electricity, magnetism, fluid dynamics, and more.
B. Build and tinker with simple yet enlightening science projects that they can take home to share and continue to experiment with.
The ScienceMobile is integrated into schools and offers 300 annual sessions. In all, it offers 6,000 science learning experiences annually.
The goal of the ScienceMobile is to cultivate curiosity, problem-solving, and self-guided exploration—all essential skills in today's world. The impact is reflected in student feedback, with 92% showing increased interest in science, 85% making new discoveries, and 72% actively inquiring about exhibit workings.
Testimonial from Jacqueline Ramos, ASES/ELO-P Coordinator at Chualar Union School District: Given the exceptional feedback from both students and staff, we are eager to schedule more visits. The hands-on presentations of the ScienceMobile resonate with our mission to instill a love for learning and science. We believe more visits would enrich our students' academic experience and cultivate further interest in STEM fields. We are open to collaborating on any logistical or budgetary considerations to make this happen. The enthusiasm from our students post-visit is a testament to the ScienceMobile's positive influence on their educational journey. We are hopeful for more visits and are grateful for the existing collaboration in igniting our students' passion for science.
