Program areas at Montana Science Center
The Children's Museum of Bozeman, Inc dba Montana Science Center (MSC) provides high quality science experiences and programming for the students and families of southwest Montana. MSC positively impacts community well-being addressing barriers to access and gaps in education by providing high quality, interactive STEAM programming, specifically in areas where such resources do not exist. Our capabilities include informal interactive science exhibits, a high-tech makerspace - STEAMlab, STEAM field trips, pre-k science literacy, and school aged afterschool programs. MSC continued community-relevant programming in 2023 in order to meet the needs of after school care for families and homeschool families. Additionally, summer camp offerings in engaging, interactive STEAM topics were added to meet the needs of summer childcare. Interactive exhibits and science standards based lessons form powerful pathways for exploratory learning for visitors of all ages at MSC.
STEAMlab is a cutting-edge, high-tech educational space for children ages 6 and above, including adults offering experiential, project-based learning programs in coding, robotics, engineering, laser cutting, soldering and 2D/3D design. In 2022, STEAMlab reached more than 5,500 children and adults through scheduled programs, targeted outreach and standards aligned lessons through schools. New programs started in 2021 include Girls Who Code and Teen Tech Squad, each afterschool program met full capacity and additional sessions were added. A STEAMmachine Task Force was formed to build out a mobile STEAMlab to reach underserved rural communities in the 2023 - 2024 school year.
