The Mission of the Francis Malcolm Science Center
The Francis Malcolm Science Center is dedicated to fostering a dynamic and immersive learning environment where curiosity meets discovery in the realms of life and physical sciences. Through year-round public programs, we invite the entire community to embark on enriching educational adventures that span from the wonders of Earth to the vast mysteries of the universe. Our 260+ acres of pristine forest, interconnected trails, and outdoor classroom provide the perfect setting for hands-on exploration, while our state-of-the-art observatory and planetarium offer unparalleled opportunities to journey through the cosmos. By inspiring both students and families, we strive to cultivate a lifelong passion for science and discovery.
