Introduction

The Powerhouse views science as an activity and a way of thinking, rather than just a body of knowledge. We invite learners of all ages to explore and create through hands-on experiences.

We intend to inspire curiosity and foster a deeper understanding of the world around us by engaging our community with gallery exhibits, robust school programs, and educational outreach.
