The Discovery Science Center's mission is to engage, excite, and educate visitors in the exploration of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) ideas through interactive experiences that promote new insights. The Science Center offers a variety of programs year-round designed to engage, excite, and educate young learners through experiences that inspire wonder and ignite creativity as the foundation for a lifetime love of STEM learning and exploration.

The Discovery Science Center presents science, not as a set of facts or equations but as the birthplace of wonder, exploration, and questioning; technology, not as the latest gadgetry but as the launch pad for invention, production, and creativity; engineering, not as unfathomable physics problems but as the home of design, problem solving, and critical thinking; and mathematics, not as Algebra 1 but as a buffet table of logic, pattern, and proofs. By providing programmatic experiences that resonate with the innate curiosity, learning desire, and spirit of exploration of our young learners we encourage them to be scientists, engineers, and inventors today so that they are better prepared to embrace tomorrow's STEM challenges and explore career options.
