Support The Science Center
Curiosity Fund
Connecting our St. Louis community with open, accessible STEM—science, technology, engineering, and math—learning experiences is at the heart of our mission to inspire everyone to be curious and engaged in science.
Generous charitable support for the Science Center’s Curiosity Fund helps make our mission possible, empowering the Science Center to connect hundreds of thousands of people each year with fun, accessible STEM experiences. By making a gift, you help support our science and technology-themed galleries, free community events like SciFest and Community STEM Showcase, and much more.
Einstein Society
The Einstein Society is a catalyzing community of supporters who share our vision for a world where everyone is empowered to discover what science makes possible.
