The goal was to use an existing 26,000 sq. ft. building to create an interactive science center, to serve the region's schools toward Oregon State science standards. Over 100 hands-on exhibits were built, both in the Museum's shop and by volunteers. Programs were developed, including: field trips for school children, summer camps, live science demonstrations, and weekend themed programming. In 2018, ScienceWorks completed a strategic planning process. The Museum's mission is to be "a champion of science: inspiring curiosity, wonder and exploration through engaging interactive science experiences.” [1] ScienceWorks' school programs serve 16 counties and 24 school districts in Southern Oregon and Northern California with field trips and classroom outreach. 57% of the schools served are low-income, Title I schools., and 78% of students are from rural areas. In 2017-2018, all 1,000 Medford School District third-graders visited ScienceWorks. In total, over 9,000 school children benefit from the Museum's school programs each year. ScienceWorks designs and constructs exhibits to display on-site and to travel to other museums. These exhibits include "Take Flight," "Sportsology" and "Noise!" The latest exhibit designed and constructed in the Museum's shop is "Pterosaurs: Ancient Rulers of the Sky." [2] Dan Ruby is ScienceWorks' Executive Director, since June 2018. Dan has a Master’s degree in Secondary Science Education from the University of Nevada, Reno. He worked at the Fleischmann Planetarium in Reno since 2005, four years as Director.
