Established in 1959, the Science Center was the first of its kind in the United States and was the prototype for other centers in the nation. Today more than 48,000 students of all ages participate in interactive "hands-on" classes that teach them how to use the scientific method to hypothesize, discover, investigate, interpret and evaluate. We are providing educational programming that is not currently available in Pinellas County Classrooms.
