CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY STATE OF THE MUSEUM FY22 7 EDUCATION AT A GLANCE PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS As the Museum and the Greater Cleveland area weathered the pandemic, we hosted a range of virtual programs to continue reaching our audiences. We are now thrilled to reengage our community and learners of all ages through in-person programming and new educational initiatives. In August 2021, we received three years of funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) in support of our “SLAM Dunk” program, a multidisciplinary educational initiative serving all East Cleveland City Schools students in kindergarten, first, and second grade. This program uses the Museum’s collection to achieve science, literacy, and math learning objectives. In August 2022, the Museum welcomed Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett as our first-ever Community Science Ambassador. A passionate advocate for the Museum and science education, Myles will serve as a leader in promoting the importance of science and STEM careers, especially for those underrepresented in these fields, while supporting the Museum’s mission to foster science literacy. Over the summer, Myles collaborated with the Museum to invite local children to a special screening of Jurassic World: Dominion, where he and several teammates treated dozens of guests to a complimentary movie, snacks, and giveaways.
