Bellevue students are free to explore the museum at their own pace during lunch recess when the museum is open. Additionally, Christian Strauli uses many elements of the museum collection in his science instruction throughout the year.  

Our museum has an assortment of living creatures (currently housing 4 species of reptiles, 2 insect species and one spider) and preserved biological specimens for students to observe.  We have physics exhibits, fossils, a green screen, a flight simulator, and so much more.  The Scitechatorium is truly an incredible space that you have to see to believe.  

A core piece of our program is the leadership role of the 6th grade docents. Each year, a group of 6th grade Bellevue students are selected to serve as docents. They spend the fall being trained on the ins and outs of the museum and then help lead tours in the spring to visiting students from other schools.  Additionally, they help during our open lunch hours with our own student population

Scitechatorium has strong partnerships with STEAM Trunk (a local educational non-profit which generously allows us to house several of their exhibits) and the Cal Poly Mechanical Engineering department.  Additionally the museum relies on the support of parent volunteer docents for its day to day operation and upkeep.  It truly takes a village to make our little museum possible.
