BUILDING A SCIENCE COMMUNITY
Leading community science education through impactful programs and diverse learning opportunities to effectively engage people of all ages and backgrounds, despite their economic circumstances or geographic location
we are here for nevada
As researchers and educators passionate about our careers in paleontology in the state of Nevada, we envisioned the Nevada Science Center fun, engaging science topics to communities across the state. As a new nonprofit, we are committed to create a community-based science center to share our love of the state and the natural sciences.
