A regional network of four hands—on museums (science, nature, and two kids Museums), an Outreach team, and newly developed digital content are all designed to engage and inspire our community to learn science, nature, and design.  Active learning is at the heart of the transformative Discovery Place experience because an active learner is an engaged learner, curious about the world and determined to make the future. Join us, as we embark upon a new school year, right where you are, and let’s partner to engage your students in meaningful experiences in science, nature, and design.

We’re here to help you create the perfect plan to engage students in meaningful STEM experiences for the 2023-24 school year. New offerings this year include coding, intro to 3D modeling, making with Minecraft and more! Discovery Place offers a broad catalog of workshops
