Ioannis N. Miaoulis, PhD, has served as president and director of the Museum of Science, Boston for more than ten years. An innovative educator with a passion for science and engineering, Miaoulis came to the Museum by way of Tufts University, where he was dean of the School of Engineering and where he championed the introduction of engineering into the Massachusetts public school curriculum. As a result of efforts he spearheaded, Massachusetts was first in the nation to develop a K – 12 curriculum framework and assessments for technology and engineering. Miaoulis has seized the opportunity as the Museum’s president to promote scientific and technological literacy on a national scale. In 2004, he led the creation of the Museum’s National Center for Technological Literacy (NCTL) to enhance knowledge of engineering and technology for people of all ages and inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists. Notably, the NCTL Engineering is Elementary® curriculum has reached more than 47,000 teachers and 4 million students in 50 states.

The Mission of the Museum of Science

The Museum's mission is to play a leading role in transforming the nation's relationship with science and technology. This role becomes ever more important as science and technology shape and reshape our lives and world, and it means we:

  • Promote active citizenship informed by the world of science and technology
  • Inspire lifelong appreciation of the importance and impact of science and engineering
  • Encourage young people of all backgrounds to explore and develop their interests in understanding the natural and human-made world

To do this, we will continue to build our position as a leader in the world's museum community and use our educational perspective as an informal learning institution to help the formal pre K-12 education system.
