The Lancaster Science Factory's mission is to create an environment for learning which helps children develop curiosity, think creatively and build confidence as they learn the principles of science and the application of science in engineering and technology. Highly interactive exhibits, workstations and mini-labs offer "open-ended" learning experiences with opportunities for visitors to experiment and create. We would never be able to operate without the generosity of our wonderful volunteers. A volunteer at the Lancaster Science Factory could do anything from explaining an exhibit on the floor, doing a demonstration at a birthday party, fixing a broken exhibit or welcoming guests at the front desk.
