ALL ABOUT THE SCIENCE CENTER

The Science Center of Southern Illinois (TSCOSI) was founded in 1992 and opened to the public in 1994.  TSCOSI is a 501(c)3 non-for-profit organization funded through donations, admissions, grants and gift shop sales.  The Science Center is designed for children ages 3 to 13 and their families.  The science museum features several interactive hands-on exhibits dealing with a variety of basic concepts of science, which entice the user to ask questions of themselves and the world around them.

MISSION STATEMENT:

TO PROMOTE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING AND APPRECIATION OF THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF SCIENCE THROUGH HANDS-ON EXPERIENCES.
