Did you know a butterfly’s wings are covered in millions of tiny scales?

Some butterflies—including the brilliant blue morpho—aren’t actually blue! Microscopic grooves in their wing scales reflect blue light back to our eyes, creating their dazzling color. 🦋✨

The microscopic world is full of surprises hiding in plain sight. What would YOU like to examine under a microscope?

🎉 Registration is OPEN! 🎉

Fall STEM classes are now open for registration! Visit goscitech.org to explore our classes and reserve your spot.

This session, we're trying something a little different. As a nonprofit, every dollar helps us continue bringing high-quality STEM education to children throughout our community. We work hard to keep our programs affordable, and this fall we're introducing Pay What You Want pricing.

Each class has a minimum registration fee that covers the cost of materials and staffing. If you're able to contribute a little more, your generosity will help us expand our programs and continue making STEM accessible to even more children. It's never expected—but it is always deeply appreciated.

Thank you for supporting our mission. We can't wait to learn, explore, and create with you this fall!
