Mission

A science center based museum providing hands-on educational experiences to all people. Through interactive exhibits, school presentaions and video conferencing nationwide, youth and adults learn more about living through science facts.

Programs

2 programs

Education discovery center education programs exist to help classroom educators, home school educators, scout leaders, or community activities coordinators with access to the highest quality science learning experiences possible. While dcs is a common choice for field trips, we also have a wide variety of science experiences that can be brought to school sites. Because funds for enrichment experiences are limited, we constantly strive to make sure our programs are the highest quality, meet missouri gles and national science standards, and give students access to hands-on science learning experiences that generate excitement for learning science content. Stimulating summer workshop theme events and parent child workshops also bring the fun and excitement of science to the minds and hearts of today's youth.

Expenses: $659K

The discovery school program started as a response to community needs for in-person formal education and childcare. This accredited education program helps students either meet grade level expectations according to the missouri learning standards, or move beyond their age-assigned grade in academic achievement
