You may have seen our otters training during our daily 3 p.m. Otter Chat, but did you know that our Eastern Box Turtles also participate in our positive reinforcement training program?

Here, Animal Care Technician Hannah works with Newton the Box Turtle. Watch as he “targets” (bites the yellow ball), and this behavior is “reinforced” (he gets a reward of his favorite box turtle pellets for doing it correctly).

Training is a critical part of our enrichment program here at the Science Center, which keeps our animals healthy and mentally stimulated.

The classrooms at Da Vinci Science Center's STEAM Learning Center are buzzing! Our team is putting the finishing touches on our spaces as we get ready to kick off another year of our incredible partnership with the Allentown School District.

This partnership means Central STREAM Academy students get hands-on, real-world STEAM experiences right here in our Science Center - exploring, designing and thinking like real scientists and engineers throughout the school year. It's making a genuine difference for students and families across our community.

A huge thank you to Dr. Carol Birks, Jennifer Ramos, and Becky Bodnar for being such incredible partners in making this innovative program possible. Their leadership and commitment to creating meaningful opportunities for their students is what makes this partnership so special.

Here's to another year of curious minds and big ideas.
