Programs are designed to provide an authentic window on science as a human endeavor, and to inspire … then educate. A central objective of the Center’s programs is to help continue America’s legacy as a leader on the frontiers of science and technology well into the 21 st century by helping to ensure a scientifically literate public and a next generation of scientists and engineers—both of which are of national importance in an age of high technology. In 2012, the Center launched its international arm, the Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Space Education , which recognizes that all humanity is on a journey aboard spaceship Earth, that the story of our existence knows no national borders, and it should be the birthright for all our children to understand that the explorer lives within them.
