The Lab: Thought Leadership, STEM In The City
Empowering Teachers and Students Through Science and Civics
NYSCI's Your Light and Air program is a five-year project designed to support civic science education in classrooms. The goal is simple but powerful: to demonstrate to students that science isn’t just a subject in school, it's a way to make sense of the world and a tool for making change in their own communities.

From the Museum Floor to an AI Research Lab: Inside the Artificial and Natural Intelligence Institute with Explainer Elia Moses
When NYSCI Explainer Elia Moses walked into Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute, she wasn't there on a college tour. She was there to conduct AI research. Just a few years earlier, she had first visited the New York Hall of Science as a Girl Scout. Now, through ARNI, as a biology student at City College, she was reading scientific papers alongside researchers before returning to the museum to help families understand one of today's fastest-moving technologies.
