Mission: Science central is a regional resource that provides inspiring and fun hands-on science education for all people of all ages.
Programs: Science Central aims to inspire students’ interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) from pre-K through high school, and invites adults to rekindle their interests in science and build science literacy. Our center provides a location where people of all ages can explore our exhibits and engage with STEM-related demonstrations and activities. In an ordinary year, approximately 140,000 people visit our center or participate in our programs, and since 1995 over 3 million people have received education from Science Central. Thanks to these visits and programs, people are able to: 1) Learn foundational science facts and principles 2) Understand the connection between those concepts and everyday life 3) Recognize that they can understand science and 4) Realize science can be fun! Our program include: *Science Matters- A monthly onsite program targeted to reach students who are homeschooled *Coding Club- A multiweek onsite program for 10 to 18 year old's where they learn how to code on computers *Science4U Outreach- An offsite program where we travel to classrooms around the region and provide in-person labs and demonstrations to pre-K to 12th-grade students. *Scout Workshops- An onsite program where boy and girl scout troops come to Science Central to earn STEM related badges. *Disability Days- An onsite program where we modify the building and programming for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. *Study Trips- An onsite program that gives students the opportunity to learn outside of the traditional classroom by visiting Science Central. *T.O.T.S.
