SYRACUSE — The Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology (MOST) recently announced it received $50,000 from the Richard S. Shineman Foundation for its Oswego County Discovery Sessions science program.

The initiative will bring a virtual or in-person, 45-minute classroom-based science demonstration to all 78 sixth-grade classes in 16 school buildings in Oswego County, per a MOST news release.

Teachers are offered the option to choose among several different science demonstrations that meet New York State and Next Generation Science Standards for the sixth-grade curriculum. All science demonstrations will be given by a MOST science educator and supplement classroom learning. In addition to virtual classroom programming, each student will receive a free family pass to visit the MOST, enabling students to continue their science-education journey more informally, the museum said.

The MOST is a hands-on science and technology museum for all ages. The MOST hosts numerous STEM education programs and community outreach events annually and is home to 35,000 square feet of interactive permanent and traveling exhibits.
