The Palouse Discovery Science Center (PDSC) is a nonprofit organization that exists to connect children of all ages to their families, communities and the world beyond through interactive STEAM exploration. We envision a future where all children can fulfill their potential and become engaged community members and global citizens, equipped with a strong foundation in science, critical thinking and creativity.

We offer a wide array of facilitated programs including Mudskippers Outdoor Group, regular live science demonstrations and Creativity Lab. We also continue to collaborate with community partners on a monthly Science Pub, Free Family Science Nights and regular outreach events across the Palouse. Birthday parties and private rentals are also popular.

In the past few years, PDSC achieved a few significant milestones. In 2023, PDSC became a member of the Museums for All program, which provides free admission for people receiving food assistance (EBT). PDSC also just recently completed certification through KultureCity as a Sensory Inclusive location. These two initiatives help remove barriers to education for many families. In October 2024, the PDSC had a Silver Jubilee event to celebrate 25 years in operation. 

The center operates with a small paid staff, numerous volunteers and a volunteer Board of Directors. As a nonprofit, our operations are largely supported by grants, sponsorships and donations. We are excited to grow our Discovery Partners Program with local businesses and organizations. We will host a Blast-Off Breakfast at the center on September 30 to showcase this program. Please consider joining us!
