59 years ago, we broke ground on this spot. Today, we did it again, for future generations.

Just a few years ago, people were asking whether miSci would still be here. Our community answered with overwhelming support and today we put shovels in the ground on the next chapter of miSci.

Thanks to a $10 million investment from New York State, secured by Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara, miSci is getting new classrooms, modernized facilities, more gallery space, and better protection for the archives that tell Schenectady’s story of innovation.

Thank you to Neil Golub, Schenectady County, Metroplex, Mayor McCarthy, our board, our partners, and everyone who believed miSci was worth fighting for.

We didn’t just save a museum. We secured its future. Now we start building it.

We're bringing some stars of comedy to the Planetarium this Friday, October 23!

At 6 PM, Joking with the Stars features three comedians with jokes the whole family can enjoy (best for ages 5 and up). Tickets are $10.

Then at 7:30, the kids go home, and the grown-ups stay for Comedy in Retrograde, a space-themed show for ages 18+. Tickets are $20. Come to one or make a night of both.

Tickets are at miSci.org.

To the 50,000 of you who stood at the reaction testing machine in Measure Up! trying to beat the high score: we saw you. We also saw the rematches.

For the past year, Dynavision International sponsored the exhibit and loaned us the machine that made it all happen. It's now heading back to Dynavision, and the exhibit will feel a little quieter without it.

Thank you, Dynavision International, for a year of fast hands, friendly competition, and a lot of "one more try." We couldn't have done it without you.
