Inspired by Andrew Carnegie’s model of building libraries to democratize knowledge, we aim to bring science to all communities. By establishing accessible, community-driven science centers, we empower local engagement and lifelong learning. Like Carnegie’s libraries, our vision ensures resources and opportunities are available to everyone, fostering curiosity and innovation. This approach emphasizes collaboration, equity, and the transformative power of knowledge, making science an integral part of every community’s growth and success.
