Vision Statement

A vision statement by the Directors of SEC

We would like to provide an environment rich in science and diversity of thought for children.

We would like to foster a greater understanding and appreciation of the practical principles of science.

We would like the children to work and practice the behavioral and mental approach required of scientists.

We would like the children to gain insight into the workplace of their parents.

The goal of the program is for the children to experience:
enlightment, introspectiveness, wonderment, challenge, excitement and fun.

In order to accomplish the above goals, we require the following:

*Encouraging children to wear the "scientists' hat" (or lab coat?) when approaching problem solving or observation.

*Staff and volunteers should be role models for the children.

*Children should be aware of their surroundings, rules of behavior for certain locations and appreciation and respect for one another.
