The Pacific Science Center Foundation is the nonprofit organization associated with the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, Washington. The center aims to inspire a lifelong interest in science, math and technology by engaging in diverse communities through interactive and innovative exhibits and programs.
Pacific Science Center began as the United States Science Pavilion during the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle. Millions came to explore the wonders of science during the World's Fair and upon closing ceremonies, the Science Pavilion was given new life as the private, not-for-profit Pacific Science Center, becoming the first U.S. museum founded as a science and technology center.
The center’s award-winning, interactive programs reach more than one million people around the state each year—in their communities, classrooms and in the center itself. Through onsite exhibits, camps and youth development programs and offsite programs such as Science On Wheels, Science Cafés and Washington State LASER (Leadership and Assistance for Science Education Reform), the center works to make science education an immersive and memorable experience for children, families and adults throughout the Pacific Northwest.
