The museum is relaunching as a hybrid science center and children\u2019s museum targeted to children from toddlers to 12 years old. While most science centers start programming at 12 years old, NCM is determined to start even younger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies have shown that an interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by 8<sup>th<\/sup> grade is an important factor in pursuing higher-paying STEM careers. So, early exposure to STEM is not just about equitable access to education but equitable access to economic opportunity as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A.J. is delighted to join the Jacobs Network and to contribute to the conversation around early childhood development and education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":16194,"template":"","class_list":["post-16193","fellow","type-fellow","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","fellows_category-jacobs-social-entrepreneur-fellowship-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A.J.
