Northwest Arkansas is a thriving region of innovation, education, and exploration—yet it lacks a dedicated science center where people of all ages can engage with the wonders of science and technology. We’re changing that.

At NWA Space and Science, we are working to build a world-class science center that will inspire curiosity, fuel discovery, and create opportunities for learning and innovation. Through interactive exhibits, hands-on experiences, and dynamic programming, this center will be a place where students, families, and professionals alike can explore everything from space and robotics to engineering and beyond.

Imagine a destination for robotics competitions, public lectures, traveling exhibits and school field trips—a place where the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators find inspiration. Our vision is to create a hub for exploration that connects people to the latest advancements in science and technology while fostering a lifelong love of learning.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are actively working toward making this vision a reality, with plans to break ground in the coming years. But we can’t do it alone. We’re looking for partners, supporters, and community members who share our passion for bringing a science center to Northwest Arkansas.

Join us in shaping the future of science education in NWA. Connect with us to learn more, get involved, and help us build something extraordinary.
