2013 RepoRt to the Community

For more than 150 years, the Academy of Science – St. Louis has been the driving force behind a scientifically literate citizenry in the St. Louis community.

Founded in 1856 by twelve physicians, a lawyer, an engineer, and a businessman, the organization collected natural history specimens, maintained a library, and published a journal which became an international reference point for the study of the American West.

Today, the Academy remains an independent science organization supported entirely by community contributions. More than 1,000 professional scientists volunteer each year through the Academy to educate and inform the interested public of current and future challenges and discoveries.

S.T.E.M. – Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics

The United States National Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy developed a list of ten actions federal policy makers could take to advance STEM education in the United States to compete successfully in the 21st century. Their top three recommendations were to:

• increase America’s talent pool by improving K-12 science and mathematics education;

• enlarge the pipeline of students prepared to enter college and graduate with STEM degrees;

• strengthen the skills of teachers through additional training in science, math and technology.

Each of the Academy’s outreach initiatives works toward these ends. By sponsoring lectures, events, and student programs, the Academy seeks to lead the community in advancing STEM education.

Your support directly influences the citizens of St. Louis and the next generation by granting unparalleled access to leaders in the STEM fields.

The Academy seeks to advance the public understanding of science and promote interest in the sciences to students and adults through accessible, year-round seminars and educational initiatives.

Annual gifts to the Academy of Science – St. Louis allow us to continue offering stellar educational programming to students and adults throughout the St. Louis region.

Charles P. Chouteau is largely responsible for the impressive collection of mounted and preserved specimens of mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish that formed the backbone of the exhibits at the Academy’s Museum of Science and Natural History. A founding member of the Academy, Chouteau used his considerable family wealth to support his interest in science and exploration. Like his father, Jean Pierre Chouteau, he funded scientists traveling up the Missouri river – as well as making several treks himself. in addition to the artifacts and specimens he brought back from his own frontier expeditions, Charles Chouteau purchased collections for public display and study in St. Louis.

Although the collection was transferred to the zoo-Museum district at its formation, Chouteau’s passion to establish the Academy and to promote an understanding of the sciences lives on. The taxonomic levels in the Chouteau Society honor his lasting legacy.
