Sci-Quest Charity Profile
Sci-Quest is a children's hands-on science center serving the Tennessee Valley (north Alabama and southern Tennessee). Located in Cummings Research Park in Huntsville, Alabama; Sci-Quest is situated in one of the nation's largest research parks and serves as a conduit for informal science education and workforce development.
Surrounded by corporations deeply rooted in space and biological research, aerospace engineering, space and missile defense and technology, the mission of Sci-Quest is to promote science literacy through interactive exhibits and innovative learning experiences for a diverse and expanding audience. Sci-Quest also strives to develop children's interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) related fields and be a community resource of science education.
Founded by a group of community volunteers who worked for nearly a decade to secure funding for the center, Sci-Quest was established as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 1989. After opening to the public in May 1999, Sci-Quest's more than 100 interactive exhibits, special traveling exhibits and programs have hosted more than 500,000 visitors.
