Dr. Raven Baxter, a BEAM Alumna who serves as the Executive Director of The Science Haven had this to share with BEAM:

"I am honored as a second-generation alumna of the BEAM Summer and Saturday Academy Programs, to now serve as the Executive Director of The Science Haven. It is with immense pride that we announce our partnership with BEAM to launch The Science Haven's Stellar Dreams Program in Buffalo, which aims to give 100 telescopes and astronomy education to 100 deserving students in grades 5-12 across the USA. For students passionate about space, a telescope unlocks a door to an infinite universe of wonder and possibility.

Our mission with the Stellar Dreams Program is not only to inspire, but also to equip the next generation of scientists and leaders with the tools and confidence they need to reach for the stars and beyond. The sky is not the limit! We extend our sincere gratitude to BEAM for their support as a bronze-level sponsor." - Dr. Raven Baxter, Executive Director, The Science Haven
