Igniting Curiosity in All of Us
Thanks to our community of supporters, Pacific Science Center continued to spark curiosity and connection for students, families, and lifelong learners across Washington this year.
Together, we’ve filled the past year with exploration under the arches and discovery throughout the state—proving that curiosity truly knows no bounds.
2024–2025 Year in Review
Thousands of guests ignited their curiosity at PacSci exhibits, with old favorites and exciting new experiences alike. This year’s highlight was the in-house debut of Brainy Bodies, featuring hands-on activities in English and Spanish that explore how everyone experiences the world differently because of our unique brains and bodies.

Curiosity online, in the classroom, & Across Washington state
Thanks to our donor community, PacSci delivered high-impact educational programs at low or no-cost to schools and students across Washington.
Science on Wheels delivered hands-on workshops to classrooms. Digital Discovery Workshops engaged students online. Field trips welcomed learners from every corner of the state.
The impact of these programs is recognized statewide. Partnerships with organizations like Amazon Future Engineer continue to expand programming and access, and the State of Washington has invested in PacSci’s public education programs for the next biennium—a major step toward serving every low-income K–8 school in Washington with interactive STEM programs each year.

Camps for Curious Minds
In the summer of 2024, PacSci welcomed thousands of young explorers to dive into hands-on STEM experiences. Campers launched rockets, engineered duct tape boats, and brought coded creations to life, sparking creativity and curiosity in every activity.
Our girls-focused and sensory-friendly camps provided inclusive, supportive environments for all campers. Scholarships covered lunch and extended care, giving more children the opportunity to join and enjoy an unforgettable summer of science, learning, and discovery.
PacSci’s Camps for Curious Minds continue to inspire imagination, foster collaboration, and nurture a lifelong love of exploration for every camper.
