Re-Imagined Discovery: Moving Forward!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, our Capital Campaign has officially concluded! We are now moving into the exciting next phase: applying these funds directly to the comprehensive renovations and expansions that will shape the future of STEM education in Idaho. Scroll down to see the projects you helped make possible.

 

We are no longer actively seeking contributions designated for the Capital Campaign. Future philanthropic support will now be directed toward advancing the Discovery Center’s mission through world-class educational programming, dynamic exhibits, and community engagement initiatives that inspire curiosity and lifelong learning.

Inspiring Future Innovators

Boise’s rapid growth brings an ever-increasing demand for impactful STEM education. With our Capital Campaign successfully funded, we have the sufficient funds on hand to complete our remaining work. One of our most visible transformations is still to come: this fall, we will complete a comprehensive renovation of the building’s exterior, including a new roof and a completely refreshed façade. These improvements will provide a welcoming new appearance that reflects the innovation taking place inside the Center.
