''Everything was so interesting on the tour. We got to see the conference rooms and other important spaces at the UN. Our speaker was also really interesting and he answered all our questions clearly, which I thought was helpful for planning my future career!" - Student from France

 

Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered what exists beyond? This November, One to World wants to bring the universe to our student community! Join us on a museum trip to the Liberty Science Center (LSC), where you will have the chance to visit various science exhibitions and utilize numerous educational resources to explore the beauty of nature.

 

At LSC, you will get to witness the original Hoberman sphere designed by Chuck Hoberman and the largest planetarium in the Western Hemisphere - the Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium, featuring incredible 3D shows of the night sky and distant galaxies!

 

LSC is an interactive learning center of science and technology that intends to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers, located at the Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey. It contains 12 museum exhibition halls, including a live animal collection with 110 species, giant aquariums, live simulcast surgeries, hurricane-and-tornado-force wind simulators, and many more interesting exhibits. There will also be free time to explore the museum on your own before returning back to the city as a group.

Here is your chance to participate in a 60-minute guided tour to view one of the most famous churches in NYC--- the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and its amazing architectural aesthetics, to hear about its history and cultural significance through in-depth story-telling.

You'll also have the unique opportunity to participate in a conversation after the tour with Frank Brown, the President of the church's board and Advisory Director of General Atlantic. Beyond his affiliation with St. John the Divine, Mr. Brown has a diverse background in global risk management, leading an international business school, a 26-year career at PricewaterhouseCoopers, and much more, so you are encouraged to come prepared with questions!

 

From this experience, you’ll learn all about the church’s original design conception, and its transformation and construction by seeing examples of architectural features that demonstrate Gothic Revival architecture. From its design conception in 1888, to its opening just one week before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, you’ll leave with a greater understanding of the church’s historic importance in New York City.
