2014 Report to the Community 2.indd 1 2/24/15 4:23 PM

• The children we engage in science and technology today are the critical thinkers and problem solvers of the future.

• The decisions facing our world require a scientifically literate citizenry, informed by those with expertise in science and technology.

• The St. Louis region is a brain trust of researchers, investigators, explorers, and science advocates–dedicated to fostering the next generation of STEM leaders and advocates.

• That by 8th grade, children have determined if they have a place in science and technology. By connecting them to STEM professionals who share the rewards of their efforts, we are building the workforce of the future.

• That communicating complex science and technology ideas to the public can be effectively accomplished through stories, accessible outreach, and citizen-science opportunities.

• That children learn science inquiry through hands-on, relevant, project-based experiences.

• That 87% of middle school students, after engaging in Academy career explorations with professionals in science and technology, report a better understanding of why it is important to take math and science; and 74% state that the experience inspired them to want to find out more about future careers in STEM fields.

• In the power of collaboration and interdisciplinary ideas and effort.

• In an engaged community of advocates of the community outreach initiatives of the Academy of Science.

• In the value of a uniquely independent and community-supported organization, true to its 1856 mission, “Promoting the understanding and appreciation of science.”

Mary Burke Chief Executive Officer


Our MissionThe Academy seeks to advance the public understanding of science and promote interest in the sciences to students and adults through accessible, year-round seminars and educational initiatives.


Recent research conducted by the ACT demonstrates that even when students are accomplished in math and science, they do not gravitate toward majors in those areas without a personal connection. Teen STEM Careers provides that connection. STEM professionals work with students in interactive sessions to illustrate the rewards of a fulfilling STEM career.

Supporters of STEM Careers and our continuum of Teen Programs include Express Scripts, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, the Employees Community Fund of Boeing, Emerson Charitable Trust, the Gertrude and William A. Bernoudy Foundation, Nestle Purina PetCare, the William R. Orthwein, Jr. and Laura Rand Orthwein Foundation, the Mary Ranken Jordan and Ettie A. Jordan Charitable Foundation, Maritz, Commerce Bancshares, Inc., and the Fox Family Foundation.

1856 – Led by Dr. George Engelmann, the Academy of Science of St. Louis was formed by the key science and education leaders of St. Louis. A state charter was requested and a library and museum were developed. The impressive collection included mounted and preserved specimens of mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish from Charles P. Chouteau.

Laying the STEM Path to the FutureTeen STEM Careers


Hundreds of middle and high school students from public, private and home schools across the entire St. Louis region experience hands-on, real-world opportunities in science, engineering

and medicine through Junior Academy.

Corporations, science organizations and universities open their labs, research areas and libraries to teens at THE critical time when they are laying the science and technology path for their future. Junior Academy members realize the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to discovery and a strong, early grounding in math and science. Junior Academy offers challenging and engaging science competitions and opportunities for a full range of academic levels.

Teen Science Cafes and Science at the Library allow teens to interact with science professionals in fun, informal and relaxed settings exploring trends such as nanotechnology, bionics and The Hunger Games.

850 teens

22 events

93% strongly agree or agree they would like to learn more science and math in school

1869 – The Academy museum collections and library grow with the help of the Smithsonian Institution. Transactions, the Academy’s internationally disseminated scientific journal, helps establish St. Louis’ reputation as a center for science.

1881 – The Academy library is the largest of its kind west of the Allegheny Mountains and contains nearly 3,000 books and 8,000 issues of scientific periodicals.

1903 – The William McMillan family donates a building at 3817 Olive Street to house the Academy’s expansive collections and library. Transactions continues to be an internationally respected and distributed scientific journal.


1915 – Membership broadens to include teachers, laboratory staff, and college students.

1917 – Library consists of 50,000 volumes.

1923 – A special memorial issue of Transactions is published to honor the outstanding work of Academy member, Dr. Charles Henry Turner, researcher and educator.

The Academy of Science St. Louis Science Fair is inquiry-based learning at its best! Students make real world connections as STEM-capable learners.

Recent research demonstrates the value of project-based learning for a STEM

literate workforce of the future.

The Academy’s Science Fair is the premier STEM Fair in St. Louis, with more than 50,000 K-12 students representing 250 schools throughout the region. Close to $60,000 in scholarships and awards are presented, including Most 529 College Savings accounts.

High School students who have completed collegiate level research also compete for scholarship awards, and two students represent the Fair at the INTEL International Science and Engineering Fair.

Monsanto Fund and SunEdison continue their traditions as strong corporate citizens through their support of this high-impact demonstration of scientific learning and discovery.

Science FairBringing Science Inquiry to Life

1930s-1941 – Academy sponsors work of scientists during the Great Depression—including investigation and collection of artifacts of Native Americans in the Mississippi River Valley. Historical and valuable artifacts became part of the collections of the Academy, the Smithsonian, and the Missouri Resource Museum.


The Academy offers a broad range of science speakers, tours, and community wide public talks, workshops and citizen science events, catering to all ages and backgrounds. Most events are free, and others are a very modest fee.

Science Seminars feature all the trending topics that

are shaping our future, from the Higgs boson and the fate of the universe to quantum computing. STEM professionals increase public awareness of science and its powerful role in our public and private lives.

Series include Art & Science in partnership with Craft Alliance; Conservation Conversations and Science Seminars in partnership with the Saint Louis Zoo; On Science in partnership with OASIS; On the Menu; Pioneering Science in partnership with Kirkwood High School; and Perspectives on Science & History in partnership with the Missouri History Museum.
