Science, Industry, & Discovery CentersScience & discovery centers are curated learning environments that offer pedagogically engaging opportunities to develop and pursue curiosities about science and technology. These centers, often located adjacent to schools, universities, or community centers, help to bridge the gap between education and practical applications of science and industry. What sets these centers apart from ordinary museums? They are designed by experts to engage everyone -- kids, teens, and adults!-- with hands-on approaches to science learning. Join Katie and Chelsea as they explore the history of the "science center movement" in the U.S. and shine a light on a few of their favorite local examples.
