Abstract

Abstract The Science Career Ladder at the New York Hall of Science is a program that engages young people in a hierarchy of paid and unpaid experiences in the museum, designed to cultivate their interest in science and in pursuing science professions. Its double objective is to create a cadre of eloquent, well‐informed Explainers for the Hall's visitors, and to encourage underrepresented young people into science careers. This article will briefly present the history of the Science Career Ladder, describe how it currently operates, and address the challenges for sustaining the Career Ladder during a period of rapid growth.
