Aspen Science Center’s COVID-19 Response

As a result of the continued uncertainties regarding health and safety due to COVID-19; strong recommendations from the scientific community for continued strict distancing, mask-wearing, and other health-focused restrictions; as well as the hands-on nature of the Aspen Science Center’s programs and events, the ASC will continue to postpone all in-person programming through the end of 2020.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may create and look forward to returning in 2021 with many of our signature hands-on and in-person programs.

While this action is the safest response to the pandemic, it has resulted in a significant financial impact to the ASC. To-date, in 2020, the ASC has experienced a budget shortfall of over $75,000 in fee-based income and program-specific sponsorships.  This makes donor support even more important to the future success of the ASC.  If you are able to do so, please consider making a contribution to the Aspen Science Center at this time.

We appreciate your support, especially now!

New Resources for Early Learners and Families 

In October of 2020 ASC launched a new, innovative take-home activity delivery program under our Early STEM banner.  Working with Pre-schools and Daycare Centers throughout the Valley, ASC is delivering pre-packaged hands-on activity packets complete with a small interactive object like a ball or a hand magnifier, and instruction cards in both English and Spanish, to facilitate parent and child exploration and discovery at home.  While currently supported by our generous Early STEM donors, additional financial resources will help the ASC accelerate expansion of this timely offering well into 2021.

Please enjoy a safe and healthy holiday season and keep listening to what the scientists have to say!
