Bringing a Science Center to Northwest Arkansas

CENTER FOR SCIENCE & EXPLORATION

At NWA Space and Science, we are working to build a world-class center for science and exploration that will inspire curiosity, fuel discovery, and create opportunities for learning and innovation. Through interactive exhibits, hands-on experiences, and dynamic programming, this center will be a place where students, families, and professionals alike can explore everything from space and robotics to engineering and beyond. Imagine a destination for robotics competitions, public lectures, traveling exhibits and school field trips—a place where the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators find inspiration.

Our vision is to create a hub for exploration that connects people to the latest advancements in science and technology while fostering a lifelong love of learning. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are actively working toward making this vision a reality, with plans to break ground in the coming years. But we can’t do it alone. We’re looking for partners, supporters, and community members who share our passion for bringing a science center to Northwest Arkansas. Join us in shaping the future of science education in NWA.

Connect with us to learn more, get involved, build something extraordinary and help us bring a science center to NWA to light the imagination and curiosity of all.
