Science Center of Iowa
i'iilLaunches 40 th Year Celebration
The cience Center of
Iowa and Blank IMAX
Dome Theater (SCI) is cel-
ebrating its 40 th year with
a reflection of past accom-
plishments and a look to-
ward the future, including
a redesigned website at
www.sciowa.org and a new
logo that reflects SCI's his-
tory from the last four de-
cades as well as its mission
to inspire scientific explora-
tion.
Forty years ago, SCI
opened its doors on October
17, 1970 as the Des Moines
Center for Science and In-
dustry in Greenwood-
Ashworth Park. Since open-
ing as one of the first science
center models like it in the
world, SCI has evolved in
many ways. In 1986 the
name was changed to the
Science Center of Iowa to
directly reflect its reach and
mission to address the
needs of the entire state of
Iowa, and the organization
thrived for 35 years in its
original location. In 2005,
SCI moved to a brand new
110,000 sq.-ft facility on
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Parkway in the heart of
Downtown Des Moines and
has since served over 2 mil-
lion participants.
To officially begin the 40 th
year celebration, SCI hosted
a Black Tie Gala to recog-
nize founders, donors, char-
ter members and honorary
chairs the Meredith family.
Additional events, promo-
tions, and special recogni-
tion are planned through-
out the year.
"SCI is constantly chang-
ng and we have learned,
over 40 years, to listen to
the community," said SCI
President and CEO Dr.
Paul Jennings. "We spent
several months collecting
feedback from web users
and felt it was important to
launch this new initiative
during this milestone year."
SCI's new website,
launched October 20, was
developed in conjunction
with the Trilix Group and
features new easy-to-navi-
gate content aimed at en-
hancing the overall user
experience. With a user-
friendly header, footer and
navigation bar on every
page, plus an interactive
map of SCI's interior, visi-
tors to the website can eas-
ily explore the experience
platforms, Blank IMAX
Dome Theater, daily sched-
ule of events, options for fa-
cility rentals and even
online donations.
Educators can utilize the
new website as a resource
for classroom activities and
follow-up materials to
supplement field triPs to
SCI from within their class-
rooms. Families of students
enrolled in SCI's renowned
preschool will also now have
secure, password-protected
access to classroom re-
sources.
SCI is also currently host-
ing its largest traveling ex-
hibition to date, Da Vinci -
The Genius. This 14,000-
sq.-ft exhibition is the most
comprehensive ever com-
piled on Leonardo da Vinci's
remarkable genius as an
inventor, artist, anatomist,
• sculptor, engineer, musi-
cian and architect. Ten
years in the making, the
exhibition features a vast
array of full-scale machine
inventions crafted from Da
Vinci's personal codices
(notebooks), as well as re-
productions of his most fa-
mous Renaissance art. Da
Vinci- The Genius audio
tours are available. SCI rec-
ommends approximately 2
hours to explore.
"We encourage the com-
munity to celebrate the 40 t
year by seeing one of the
world's greatest geniuses of
all time." said Chris
Kramer, SCI's Vice Presi-
dent of Development, Com-
munications and Govern-
ment Relations. "This exhi-
bition showcases the high-
caliber experience SCI can
offer to the community and
encourage lifelong learn-
ing."
SCI's "Genius Package",
which includes all-day ad-
mission to the Science Cen-
ter and a timed ticket to Da
Vinci - The Genius, is
$17.75 for adults, $12.00 for
children ages 2 - 12, and
$15.75 for seniors. The last
ticket to Da Vinci is sold 90
minutes prior to SCI clos-
ing.
Admission to the Da Vinci
exhibition alone is available
only to SCI members. "To-
tal Experience" tickets are
available to explore Da
Vinci, SCI and an IMAX
film together at a dis-
counted price.

tact (515) 274-6868 or

The Science Center of
Iowa is a ll0,000-sq, ft fa-
cility devoted to lifelong
learning, featuring dynamic
experience platforms and
daily interactive demon-
strations with SCI staff for
visitors to explore and ex-
periment. By placing the
power of learning in the
hands of the visitor, the pro-
grammatic emphasis is not
on "what" to learn, but
"how" to learn. SCI also fea-
tures the 175-seat John
Deere Adventure Theater
for live performances, the
50-foot domed Star Theater
for pianetarium shows and
the 216-seat Blank IMAX
Dome Theater for engaging
films. SCI's Iowa Learning
Center cultivates ties to for-
mal education through edu-
cational resources for edu-
cators and students, the
NAEYC-accredited SCI
Preschool, as well as a state-
wide outreach program.

The Appel Report
By State Senator Staci Appel
Iowa honors veterans, servicemembers and their
families
Veterans Day is Thursday, November 11. I join all Io-
wans in thanking those who've served and defended our
country.
Our veterans and servicemembers have made tremen-
dous sacrifices--a powerfu ! reminder that freedom comes
at a cost. For that, they deserve our respect and apprecia-
tion.
Here in Iowa, our support for veterans, soldiers and their
families has made our state a national leader.
The Iowa Veterans Council called a recent legislative
session the best for Iowa veterans and servicemembers
since the 1950s. And this year, Iowa became the first state
to approve 10 measures that the U.S. Department of De-
fense says would do most o improve the quality-of-life for
our military (www.usa4militaryfamilies.dod_mi]/).
Other recent accomplishments for veterans include:
** Expanding the veterans Homeownership Assistance
Program to help those who've served buy a house.
** Helping veterans go to college by providing more than
$3 million in student aid this year and more than $13 mil-
lion over the last four years.
** Expanding the Iowa Injured Veterans Grant Program,
which helps servicemembers injured in the line of duty.
** Helping disabled veterans who own and operate small
businesses get state contracts.
** Expanding outreach to disabled veterans about feder-
ally funded job-training opportunities and new job-train-
ing programs.
** Strengthening services to veterans by establishing a
spot for advocates familiar with veterans' issues on two
state mental health policy panels.
** Improving medical services by requiring Iowa insur-
ance to cover substance abuse and mental health treat-
ment for Iowa veterans.
On November 11, please take a moment to thank the
veterans you know for their service.
