When you visit the science centre you help us in a number of ways.
Glasgow Science Centre is a charity. So part of what you pay to visit or have your event at the science centre supports community and educational work.
So - thanks to you:
- In the last year we've been able to take mobile exhibits and science shows to more than 38,000 pupils and families in their own schools and communities - from Dumfries and Galloway to the far north of the Highlands.
- We've been able to provide a special schools rate for school groups visiting the Centre, and nearly 60,000 children came to see us as part of this organised schools programme.
- We've been able to bring new travelling shows like 'Wallace & Gromit present a World of Cracking Ideas' to Glasgow for everyone to enjoy, and have more planned for 2011 and beyond.
- We have built a dedicated exploration space for children aged 7 and under.
- We've worked to provide vital Science skills to teachers all across Scotland through a programme of Continuing Professional Development.
Science today provides tomorrow's solutions to tomorrow's problems.
You can help us continue this work by visiting the Centre, holding your business events here, Giftaid and even by donation. We have a wide range of new projects planned, your help is vital in helping realise them.
