National Park Service representatives, educators and scientists
will join together in a ceremony to announce and dedicate the
future Crater Lake Science and Learning Center at Crater Lake
National Park. The Science and Learning Center is planned as an
interdisciplinary facility that will facilitate science and
unite it with place-based learning and appreciation. The
Director of the National Park Service, Fran Mainella will
preside over the dedication that will include the unveiling of
design drawings and a ceremony to dedicate the new center.
“Long known for its sublime beauty, few know
that Crater Lake National Park is an outstanding outdoor
laboratory and classroom, a place that draws scientists,
teachers and students to investigate, instruct and learn from
and about our natural world,” says Park Superintendent Chuck
Lundy. “Moving from scenery to science and place-based learning,
the park’s role is expanding. Connecting scientists with
teachers and in turn with students and the visiting public, the
park can become a focal point for life-long learning.”
