Sci-Tech Discovery Center – Frisco, Texas

Sci-Tech Discovery Center, Inc. became an organization in 2004 after five years as an initiative of the Junior League of Collin County. Preview exhibits in the summers of 2004 and 2005, and various community and school events from 2006-2009 grew an enthusiastic audience of kids, families, and educators. In 2010 Sci-Tech opened its doors in Frisco with generous support from the City of Frisco Community Development Corporation, many corporate sponsors, foundations, and individuals.

Sci-Tech serves 50,000 visitors on-site and off-site each year, and many participants are kids in targeted outreach programs in underserved areas.  Our educators travel to groups around North Texas to deliver TEKS-aligned programs during and after school. Many programs are presented over several weeks, months, or years to build and reinforce skills and confidence and promote STEM pathways for high school and beyond.

Field Trip

Families with children that are visiting Frisco will want to plan a half-day at the Sci-Tech Discovery Center. This is a hands-on immersive activity space for children to learn while also being active.

Exhibits include activities and demonstrations in the Maker Studio; Bubble Tables that showcase the science behind surface friction; the Coordination Station, where kids learn about balance; and the Building Challenges station, where construction happens with super-sized building blocks.
