  Dr. Darryl Williams, Senior Vice President of Science and Education Franklin Institute
  WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18
  2:00pm - 4:00pm
  Upper Gallery
  Members: $15 | Non-Members: $20

Yet, these assets lack cohesion, which further disconnects our city’s most vulnerable demographics. The Franklin Institute understands the role it plays in supporting the city’s STEM education ecosystem.
