Sparking a lifelong curiosity for science through interactive exploration.
The Palouse Discovery Science Center brings hands-on science and learning experiences to people of all ages. We are a non-profit organization whose purpose is to further the public’s understanding of science and technology through the use of educational programs, exhibits, teaching collections, and activities which emphasize the physical participation of individuals. The offerings of the PDSC will support and enhance science in both formal and informal situations involved with lifelong learning.
