Teen Advisory Council

The Teen Advisory Council brings together teens with a  wide range of experiences. Each council member is open-minded, creative, and motivated with diverse interests and backgrounds across the Hartford region. The Teen Council aims to create meaningful opportunities for teens of all backgrounds to be involved at The Connecticut Science Center. Teen Council members provide valuable feedback, insight, and a voice on current and upcoming science center youth-focused programs.

Mission Statement:

The Connecticut Science Center’s Teen Advisory Council empowers teens to create meaningful and engaging programs that resonate with today’s generation. Our mission is to unite the teen community while promoting awareness and excitement for STEAM awareness and identity. Through designing inclusive initiatives and incorporating community feedback, we aim to inspire and educate diverse youth, ensuring STEAM remains a key part of youth development in Connecticut. Together, we strive to amplify our impact and build a future where STEAM continues to thrive among young minds.

Science Center Teen Programs are made possible with major support from the Gawlicki Family Foundation, Liberty Bank Foundation, and The Neag Foundation. Additional support is provided by HSB, the Stanley D. and Hinda N. Fisher Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain, M&T Charitable Foundation, the Bloomfield Greater Together Community Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, and the Ross Memorial Fund at the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving.
