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.
