In September 2010, the New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) launched The Sara Lee Schupf Family Center for Play, Science, and Technology Learning (SciPlay). Led by founding director, Dr. David Kanter, SciPlay is a community-based, hands-on approach to teaching science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

SciPlay’s mission is to enhance students’ understanding of and engagement in science by harnessing the potential of play for science learning.
