The Educator Resource Center (ERC) in the Lyman Library supports the Museum's goal of improving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) literacy in grades K – 12.
The center provides a range of services for teachers to foster their personal growth and support their classroom teaching. We encourage educators to schedule time here for resource review and individual or small-group professional development.
The ERC features wireless access, LCD projection, and photocopying facilities — an ideal setting for doing professional work.
