We seek to help them create an engaging and exciting learning environment, and to help our students succeed in a world in which science, technology, engineering and math are increasingly a part of every fact of our economy and society, from the arts to zoology.The Rhinebeck Science Foundation seeks to create lasting impact for the Rhinebeck Centract School District and its students. We work with the community, teachers, administrators, the school board, and even students, to create and fund programs, from imaginative pilot programs to larger investments.We favor projects that focus on hands-on learning and innovative teachin false false 62671 Innovation HubThe Innovation HUB created a collaborative space in the Rhinebeck High School for students to think critically and take risks to problem-solve responsibly with new technologies that engage students in a process oriented in principles of design thinking. This gives students a chance to innovate, create, collaborate, explore, experiment, invent and learn through play as they engage with a variety of tools and technology. Some students are using VEX EXP Robotic kits and Spike Prime Lego kits to design and create their own robots. And the set crew has 3-D printed the props for the school play. The Hub is open to all students at community lunch, as well as being used by some classroom teachers. 13596 Grants for climate change initiatives, biomimicry lesson, 8th grade day of science at Bard College, and funding for several STEM related field trips. 13056 Water FountainGrant was created by a team of 7th-8th graders, working with Rhinebeck Mayor Gary Bassett as part of a middle school civics elective to come up with a climate-smart solution to add accessible drinking water for the school district and village. Their work required learning a significant amount about water pipes, and civil engineering as well as design. RSF funded a significant amount toward the completion of the project, but the village contributed as well as some crowd-sourced funding. 9089 98412 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 14 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false NY X Melissa LeHane 8458765383 67 N Parsonage St Rhinebeck NY 12572 X Eliza Bozenski Board member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kyla Hart Vice President 7.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Johnny Lehane Board member 5.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tanvir Alam Board Member 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matthew McKnight Board member 6.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Angela Basile Board Member 30.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Braine Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Maureen Terranova President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kerim Kalafala Board Member 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Melissa Lehane Treasurer 12.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Laurel Kemp Board Member 12.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 72061 72061 0 16695 16695 0 0 0 1843582 1882656 -39074 -39074 -39074 32691 42164 -9473 0 0 0 40209 -39074 16695 98412 98412 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3000 3000 0 0 0 0 0 824 824 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2549 2549 Fees 2109 2109 Postage and Shipping 728 728 0 107622 98412 9210 0 125387 103128 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 622587 663413 0 0 0 0 747974 766541 1384 65 1384 65 X 746590 766476 746590 766476 747974 766541 -67413 90397 -3098 X true X false false false X 37142 39343 46016 61450 72061 256012 0 0 37142 39343 46016 61450 72061 256012 0 256012 52571 68670 38658 12470 15493 187862 0 0 443874 38689 0.57680 0.51300 X CREDIT CARD PAYABLE 65 65 X false 2023 GALA 32691 32691 18394 23770 32691 32691 18394 23770 42164 -9473 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: 3D Printer3D printer for Chancellor Livingston Elementary School for initial use in 5th grade classrooms, and electives for other grades, to develop a students understanding of 3D printing to enhance & improve learning.
