South Florida Science Museum

A²Sci is Anytime, Anywhere Science, a distance learning program designed by the South Florida Science Museum (SFSM) in collaboration with the School District of Palm Beach County and The Education Network that allows students and teachers to access highly interactive lessons and science experiments through multiple media sources. The project seeks to increase the access to and level of science education within the K-12 population. This A²Sci program is targeted to fourth and fifth grade students.
