Who we would love to hear from
What we would like to hear, once contact opens.
Curious neighbors and families
What would make you come back? What would your kids want to try?
Teachers and educators
What would fit your curriculum and your school-trip budget?
Scientists and engineers
Would you review content, give a talk, or help with robots and data?
Museums, libraries and venues
Would you consider hosting a small temporary exhibit or a pop-up program?
Watershed and community groups
How could the center support what you already do, without duplicating it?
Accessibility advisors
What should be built in from the start?
Would-be volunteers
What would you like to help with? No volunteer roles exist yet; the Take part page shows how each would work. Volunteers would add to paid staff, never replace them, and anyone working with children would first need Pennsylvania's child-protection clearances.Source: PA DHS (Volunteers having contact with children: frequently asked questions, 23 August 2024), Volunteers having contact with children: frequently asked questions (23 August 2024)

About Aethon, the data and mapping partner
Partner: Aethon, the ocean data, mapping and exploration company founded by the plan's author. Aethon supplies the maps and data; the center does public education.
Aethon does not fund, own, operate or approve the center, and the center is not an Aethon facility. It is in the planning phase, with nothing built yet.
The same person founded Aethon and is planning this center. That is a conflict of interest. A future board would manage it with a conflict-of-interest policy, an independent board majority and arm's-length written agreements.
