Help us improve access to STEAM education

At Discovery Centre, we believe in the power of hands-on learning to inspire and empower the next generation of innovators and leaders in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math). Our programs, including camps, workshops, in-centre exhibits and travelling school programming, are designed to provide accessible, transformative educational experiences that ignite curiosity, foster a love for science, and address critical issues facing our communities. By donating to Discovery Centre, you are not only supporting dynamic programs but also investing in the future of our youth. Your contributions help us break down barriers, reach underrepresented communities, and ensure that every child has the opportunity to explore, learn, and grow.

Make Waves for Ocean Education

Complementing the Discovery Centre’s mission of fostering a passion for science and discover, Beaty Centre for Marine Biodiversity is committed to connecting people to the wonders of marine life, advance ocean knowledge, and instill a shared lifelong commitment to protecting our ocean and marine culture. Supported by Discovery Centre’s expertise, Beaty Centre’s initiative aims to celebrate ocean life, sustainability, and Indigenous knowledge and storytelling, incorporating the Mi’kmaq concept of Netukulimk, honouring a way of life that emphasizes balance and respect for the ocean’s resources.   

Through interactive exhibits available in Mi’kmaq, English, and French, live local species, hands-on activities, and real research happening right here in Nova Scotia, Beaty Centre inspires curiosity, deepens understanding of the underwater world, and empowers the next generation of ocean stewards. 

With your support, we can make ocean education accessible, engaging, and meaningful for learners of all ages and walks of life. Give today and help create a healthier future for our blue planet.
