Bedford Science Center

Erin and other volunteers have been working to establish the Bedford Science Center. Starting three years ago they created a “science corner” in the lobby of Lane School. Facilities put in some new outlets, fixed all the lights in the display cabinets, and a volunteer made heavy-duty shelves. Someone donated a table, the old superintendent brought in a huge wasp nest, and voila!: the science corner was born. It was loved by children so much that they have been able to expand to an entire classroom and have christened this the Bedford Science Center. While this has been growing they are working on the formation of the nonprofit called Bedford Community Science. This will be a 501c3 in town, with the goal of bringing exciting hands-on science events and activities to everyone aged 3-103. The organization has been incubating under the arm of the BEST PTO and once its 501c3 designation is obtained it will be a spin-off (like Frazier from Cheers!)
