Dysart's program, "The Over the Rhine Exploratorium," creates a science discovery and exploration center to serve students and other community members living in the downtown Cincinnati Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. The goal of the Exploratorium project is to provide constructive, educational activities that increase student learning opportunities in science and improve student test scores and academic opportunities. Focusing on the "hands-on" aspects of science learning, the program aims to bring together biologist, physicians, chemists and other science-based professionals to contribute expertise to student projects.
