Programs

Discovery Space offers a variety of programs and science adventures for kids of all ages.

Weekly Programs

Our Weekly Programs offer fun, hands-on learning for young kids and their families. These programs are a great way for children to start exploring STEM topics while parents and caregivers can connect with each other.

We know early learning experiences are important, and we work hard to make them accessible for all families through our nonprofit mission. Most weekly programs are free with membership or general admission.

Some of our activities can get a little messy, involving materials like paint, water, and other materials. We recommend dressing your child in clothes that can handle a bit of creative chaos, and we have plenty of aprons to share. Look for the ‘Messy’ sticker on our social posts each week to know when to expect some extra fun!

STEMPOWERED is an after-school enrichment program that seeks to empower girls by building their confidence in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) topics and increasing their awareness of career options within STEM fields.

During each session we explore a different STEM theme through interactive experiments and engineering design challenges. We will also take field trips to meet female STEM professionals to learn about different career paths.

Materials science is the study of stuff— what it’s made of, how it can be used, and even how it can be changed to create new kinds of stuff.
