Who We Are

The Aspen Science Center (ASC) is the only non-profit organization focusing specifically on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and engagement for the greater Roaring Fork Valley. We serve children, families, adults; residents and visitors alike; with high-quality, hands-on programs and events from Aspen to Parachute. Through partnerships with our communities, schools, and local organizations, the ASC provides accessible and inclusive bilingual STEM experiences Valley-wide.

What people say about the Aspen Science Center

"...I am raising two children in the Valley, and I want them to have the opportunities that bigger cities provide with their museums here in our small valley." -  Basalt Parent

"...Science is important to understand physically, spiritually, and as a human in this world. A world without science is easily misled." - Aspen Parent
