While schools are an essential part of STEM education, science centers offer a unique way for the broader community–from students to parents to teachers and more–to learn about scientific topics in hands-on, interactive settings that help develop, and sustain, an interest in science.
The Science Center is a place where people can go to learn about the world around them. It is a place where people can see how things work and how they have changed over time. It is a place where people can learn about the history of science and how it has helped to shape the world we live in today.
