 Thank you for your interest in the Henderson Space and Science Center.
The Henderson Space and Science Center is being designed to inspire and educate our youth, while providing an atmosphere where success is not only achievable, but fun as well. Our center will allow children to learn in their own way. By participating in the learning process, our kids will drive themselves to succeed in areas they never thought possible.
Through the efforts of the City of Henderson, the Henderson Space and Science Center will be located at Galleria Drive and US 95. Our facility will sit on five acres of prime real estate and will help anchor the Union Village development. Our facility will boast almost 90,000 square feet, with an additional 40,000 feet of outdoor demonstration area. We will provide interactive exhibits, space for experiments, and classroom areas. Our education programs will be developed in accordance with Nevada State Science Standards, and will place an emphasis on S.T.E.M. (Science Technology Engineering and Math) programming.
Federal and state funding for science education has been drastically cut. Test scores are down, and our teachers are asked to do more with less. Our children deserve more. In a diverse community like southern Nevada, we must recognize the need to augment our education system. The responsibility for educating our children lies with us.
We look forward to working with you as we build the future, and "Give our Kids the Universe".
