The mission of Discovery Cube is to inspire and educate young minds through engaging and impactful science
based programs and exhibits.With more than 120 hands on exhibits at Discovery Cube locations and 300
remote based activities hosted online at Discovery Cube Connect,Discovery Cube offers families,teachers,and
students fun and innovative ways to learn about Science,Technology,Engineering,Art,and Math
STEM/STEAM).
At Discovery Cube,we imagine a world of positive change through science education.As a national award winning
science center and a champion of STEM education,we strive to enrich young minds in a safe and constructive
environment.Our commitment begins with setting educational goals that focus on important scientific principles
that are a part of our everyday lives,influencing the lives of children and their families both on site at Discovery
Cube Orange County and in Los Angeles,and off site in six Counties across Southern California.
Background
Discovery Cube is committed to offering environmental educational programs through the highly successful Eco
Challenge interactive exhibits.These exhibits,which have been part of the City of Diamond Bar’s initiative,have
reached numerous City of Diamond Bar students through the Assembly and Fieldtrip program and families at
community events such as Earth Day,inspiring significant positive change in the community.
Discovery Cube has introduced an Organic Waste Lab as a new addition to the Eco Challenge Exhibits at Discovery
Cube OC.With the implementation of SB 1383,this outdoor exhibit is an important educational tool for students
and residents to learn about preserving environmental resources through organic recycling and composting.In
addition to the Exhibits,we have updated our educational curriculum to include organic waste diversion,recycling,
and reduction as outlined under our curriculum overview.We are excited and eager to continue our close
collaboration with the City of Diamond Bar community,leveraging our shared resources and expertise to deliver
tangible results.
Curriculum Overview
Discovery Cube’s innovative environmental science program,Greener Pathways:Exploring our Environment,'is a
transformative journey for students.It aims to ignite a passion for environmental stewardship from first through
sixth grade.Each year,the program will guide students on an inspiring path,shaping them into Earth Guardians
individuals dedicated to protecting our environment,reducing waste,and promoting sustainable living.As they
progress through the program,they will delve deeper into the captivating world of environmental science,
equipping them with the skills and knowledge to become champions for our planet.
Docusign Envelope ID: 7D9DB37F-1FB0-49E2-BE41-E7B406B9AD97

Throughout this program,students will:
Discover the wonders of our planet's diverse ecosystems and learn why it's crucial to protect them.
Explore the magic of recycling,composting,and waste reduction,and understand how these actions positively
impact our environment.
Students will not only gain insights into the laws and regulations,such as California's SB 1383,that guide our
collective efforts in reducing waste and conserving resources,but they will also actively participate in hands on
activities,community projects,and advocacy initiatives.This interactive approach empowers them to make a
meaningful difference in their surroundings,fostering a sense of responsibility and engagement.It's not just
about learning;it's about taking action.

for this environmental education program at the request of the City of Diamond Bar.

Docusign Envelope ID: 7D9DB37F-1FB0-49E2-BE41-E7B406B9AD97
Page 3 of 4
DCOC provides all aspects of Education Program delivery,including:
Booking of in school assembly and accompanying field trips
Providing teachers for the in school assembly and assigning staff to lead field trips while at DCOC.
Procuring,storing,and managing delivery of classroom supplies and equipment and educational booklets
needed to complete the Workshop
Collecting,analyzing,and reporting on home surveys
Virtual Visit Programs:
DCOC will continue to offer a virtual visit option to eligible schools.This option would function very similarly to
the traditional in school program,except instruction taking place online via Microsoft Teams webinar.The
booking process would be identical to an in person assembly,with DCOC reaching out to only approved schools
and grade levels to promote and book the program.A webinar will be used instead of an in class presentation
on the event day.This presentation will be done live,over the internet,allowing students and our educators to
communicate and interact.Instead of using keypads for polling during onsite presentations,DCOC will send an
online survey to the participants to collect learning data and a digital version of the booklet.
DCOC will provide educational outreach at the following community events:
Earth Day:City of Diamond Bar Annual Community Event
Parks Summer Program:Organic educational interactive outreach activities for K 6 Grade Level
Optional)Any additional events e.g.,America Recycles Day)will be on an as needed basis.The City Staff
will notify DCOC 90 days before the event and approve when this service request is needed.The rate for 1)
one educator for 50 students is 2,300.
Term
DCOC proposes to provide the Education program for three years,beginning in 2024 25 and ending in 2026 27,with
an option to extend to the 2027 28 school year.
Cost and Fee Schedule
Exhibit A, outlines the City of Diamond Bar’s Compensation Schedule,which details the cost and fee
structure.Exhibit A specifies that an initial start up payment is made at the beginning of the school year to
cover the program's capital costs and content creation.
Summary
The innovative approach of the Greener Pathway’s Education program perfectly fits the City of Diamond Bar and
its current outreach programs.Please forward any questions regarding this proposal to Isabel Rios,Director of
Partner Relations,at Irios@discoverycube.org.
