Why Give to Montana Science Center?

"It means so much when my son realizes that nothing is actually impossible.
He struggles with working through hard things, and MSC reinforces that things are possible and he can do them."
-From a member parent email

Montana Science Center is a unique, completely interactive science center. We provide fun, interactive STEM learning by bringing the community hands-on exhibits, traveling exhibitions, non-traditional educational programming for all ages, and a safe space for all to explore. Located in Bozeman for over 20 years, we’ve been inspiring lifelong interest and learning in science, technology, engineering, and math since 2001.

Montana Science Center is a private non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation existing without state or federal funding, dependent on tax deductible contributions from community-minded citizens, corporations, and foundations.
