Scitopia Chicago has been covered by the local and national press.
Scitopia Chicago, a community-based science education center intended to provide teenagers with extracurricular science programming and revitalize Washington Park, was announced at an April 14 press conference. The center is expected to open in 2029.
University of Chicago professor Paul Sereno hopes his space, Scitopia Chicago, inspires the next generation of scientists.
Sereno, a longtime scholar who has been called the “Indiana Jones of paleontology” for his discoveries of new dinosaur species, explained that the goal of the center is to invite teens from across the city inside to learn, create and connect with peers.
Scitopia Chicago — a brand-new science education center and destination — was announced Tuesday during an event at the University of Chicago Fossil Lab in Washington Park.
