Back to School Campaign

Back to school. back to science.

Help us raise $200,000 to bring science to life for 20,000 Washington students.

Every school year, tens of thousands of students visit Pacific Science Center on school field trips, with the potential to welcome even more when funding allows. And a field trip is more than just a fun day away from the classroom; it lets kids investigate something up close, test out their ideas, or discover a new interest to bring home with them.

A gift of just $10 covers the cost of a field trip for one student, letting them experience what they’re learning in class in a whole new way. By donating today, you’re ensuring that kids who can’t afford admission still get the chance to explore, play, and see themselves as scientists. Together, our $200,000 will help give 20,000 students an unforgettable day of discovery.

Will you help us get there?

PacSci’s impact extends beyond our campus and into communities throughout our region. As an independent nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of our community to make our education programs like Camps for Curious Minds, partnerships with schools through Science on Wheels, and dynamic digital learning experiences possible. Learn more about the impact your donation can have on science education for students, teachers, and lifelong learners across Washington.

Your gift to our Back to School fundraiser supports this work and helps make another school year of exploration and discovery possible.
