Partners in Science

About the Program

When you or your business partners with CSC, together we can bring more science programs to more children throughout the Catawba Valley. CSC’s Partners in Science provide essential support for science education programs during the school year. Your support helps CSC keep program fees low so more area schools can participate in hands-on science education at CSC.

Education program fees only cover a portion of actual cost of creating and delivering programs to public, private and homeschool groups. Our Partners in Science sponsors provide the support necessary to continue offering thirty-six different curriculum-aligned programs to over 53,000 school children.

There are still many more children throughout the Western Piedmont and Foothills regions of NC who could benefit from CSC’s science education programs. We invite anyone interested in becoming a Partner in Science to contact Chrissy Schramm at donorrelations@catawbascience.org or 828.322.8169 x. 313

Thank you to our Partners in Science!

This place was great. We have kids from 8 to 1 and they all had a great time. What I really liked is most of the exhibits are hands on and that really kept them occupied.

Fabulous and I don’t often give praise. We took our grandson and were there for hours. He loved it and so did we.

We love the Science Center! I take my 2 and 4 year old boys weekly to play and enjoy the exhibits. The staff are wonderful and the classes offered are excellent! We are so blessed to have such an amazing resource in our area.
