We, at McWane Science Center, believe that “science people” are the ones that help solve our world’s challenges. This does not simply mean the doctors, engineers, research scientists, physicists, inventors, or other science-based professionals. This also means the everyday citizen that loves science, thinks creatively, uses science-processing skills to solve problems, speaks up in defense of our world’s challenges, and thrives in exploration and discovery. McWane’s purpose is to inspire “science people.” With your help, we will continue to be successful.
As a nonprofit institution, we rely on generous contributions from individuals, corporations, foundations, organizations and public agencies. Your donation helps us maintain our many science literacy programs and world-class exhibits while also ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to do science.
Your gift helps make science come alive and inspire children of all ages for years to come.
Thank you for your consideration and support!
You will enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that you’ve helped to keep the wonder and power of science alive through hands-on educational experiences for kids of all ages.
