Innovation

​​We inspire future innovators by fostering creativity, problem-solving and new ways of thinking.  We are constantly researching new program speakers and demonstrations to provide the best and most current educational experience.

Leadership

Science Adventure Kids play a leadership role as a catalyst for STEM interests, ideas, and conversations.  We collaborate with the highest caliber of local partner organizations.  Our employees and volunteer leaders are passionate about our mission and propel it forward with confidence.  We are dedicated to the highest level of ethics, integrity, and accountability​​.

Creativity

Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. It's characterized by the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions. Science lets us experiment with everything from mixing acid and alkaline to curing deadly diseases. STEM is creativity.  Science Adventure Kids' mission is to foster this creativity in every child.
