DiscoveryCube° Exhibit A <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> Fun with Colors gives early learners an enriched opportunity to visit the Cube to learn about <br /> color science with fun, age-appropriate reading, and interactive activities. Uunderserved students <br /> are typically denied the opportunity to attend school field trips. Furthermore, field trips are <br /> needed now more than ever for minority children, given that minority groups were the most <br /> adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools are taking more virtual field trips as a <br /> result of the pandemic. Yet virtual field trips cannot effectively replace the enriching kind of <br /> real-world learning that in-person field trips offer. Young children need on-site; in-person field <br /> trips that foster their interest in STEM learning. <br /> Futuros Radiantes parents and teachers to read more books geared toward STEM to their young <br /> children. Futuros Radiantes was recognized with a 2016 Superintendent's Award for Excellence <br /> in Museum Education. In May 2013, Discovery Cube was awarded the National Medal of <br /> Service by First Lady Michelle Obama, the highest honor conferred upon museums and libraries <br /> for its community impact and excellence in promoting environmental awareness and <br /> stewardship. <br /> Collectively, Fun with Colors and Futuros Radiantes is an innovative and comprehensive <br /> program geared toward providing underserved early learners with early STEM educational <br /> opportunities to spark their lifelong interest in science, mathematics, critical thinking, and <br /> discovery. Our vision is that one day, minority individuals will be well represented in STEM- <br /> based careers due, in part, to our efforts to intervene with early learners in Santa Ana. <br /> City Council 26 — 204 5/3/2022 <br /> 22 <br />
