inspires and leads the next generation to help better the world through science education
Today, science education is needed more than ever
At the Discovery Science Foundation, we inspire kids and educate families to help make smart choices and better the world around us through a hands-on, science based approach. Proudly comprised of three distinct sites, Discovery Cube Orange County, Discovery Cube Los Angeles, and the newest site in Newport Beach, Discovery Cube’s Ocean Quest, the Cube’s staff, Board of Directors, and volunteers are dedicated to carrying out an all encompassing mission to:
Advance STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) in schools through field trips, professional development, outreach programs, and after-school programs.
Deliver world-class exhibitions to the public and offer exhibits like “Doc McStuffins: The Exhibit” and The Boeing Company’s “Above and Beyond”to students and families of all economic backgrounds.
Provide healthy living education for children and families in our community through programs, such as: the “Petersonville Healthy Kitchen” and the Science of Hockey exhibits with our friends the LA Kings and Anaheim Ducks.
Generate public awareness to make a positive impact on the environment through programs, like: “Eco Challenge,” “RecycLA,” and Ocean Quest’s “Dive into Citizen Science Program.”
Today, science education is needed more than ever as our communities have been badly shaken by our planet with tragic earthquakes in Mexico, hurricanes pounding the United States and Caribbean Islands, and devastating wildfires throughout California. These are difficult times and yet through advances in science and our own resolve to learn, we at the Foundation can do more to advance Southern California’s safety and protect its people in the future.
Our three sites collectively educate over one million people each year. It is quite possible that one of our students or visitors will be one of the minds that come up with scientific advancements benefiting us all.
As a force for science education, the Cube can be a foundation in which learning advances our daily lives in the years to come. That’s our vision: Inspire, Educate, Impact. Engaging the next generation and leading them to use science and make the world a better place.
The Cube as a collection of three is in its early years. With your support and care our full impact is just beginning and our future is filled with promise.
We invite you to join us on this journey to inspire and educate in order to set in motion a positive impact on our world of which we can all be proud.
Every gift counts and your gift will help ensure that all of our students and visitors receive the best opportunity to become inspired, educated, and help change the world.
