Outreach Programs
- Science Festivals – Science Festivals are two hour sessions composed of one Show, two Guided Activities and ten or more Table Top Exhibits.
- Shows/Assemblies – These 30 – 45 minute shows cover topics like forces, air pressure, extreme temperatures or circus science. Each show requires audience participation to convey the scientific concepts.
- Guided Activities - Each Activity starts by covering the basic concept and application of a science or engineering topic then letting the participants explore the topic in more depth through experimentation. Topics include Geodesic Domes, Chromatography, Rockets and others.
- Starlab – DCI has a portable planetarium which can be set up in school gyms for star talks and constellation viewing throughout the year.
- Table Top Exhibits - These are smaller versions of DCI exhibits which are set up in schools, libraries and other community centers.

Famous quotes containing the word programs:
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
