Our building features multiple spaces dedicated to hands-on learning experiences for STEM education and training. The learning center also acts as a venue for corporate and school events.

Funding and Sponsorships
Our operations are funded through earned revenue from our educational programs, community programs, facility rentals, and training operations. Donations and sponsorships, both corporate and individual, are a vital and necessary element to funding our mission. We rarely receive government funding and instead rely on a mix of charitable contributions and privately generated revenue.
