“The Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) is pleased to see progress on the U.S. Federal budget for fiscal year 2018. Looking ahead, we encourage robust funding for programs in informal science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education at the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
These programs provide critical support to science centers, museums, and other informal science-learning organizations across the country that inspire, engage, and educate millions of Americans about STEM each year.”
—Cristin Dorgelo, President and CEO, ASTC
