About us

Making Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) fun, exciting, engaging and inspiring for families, schools and communities is our core mission. Established in 1989, Aberdeen Science Centre is a recognised charity that aims to serve as a STEM Hub to connect and engage members of the public, industry, academia and government. As a landmark visitor attraction, we encourage active involvement in learning with hands-on exhibits, investigative workshops and exciting shows and demonstrations. We promote an environment of curiosity and life-long learning. As a STEM partner, we work with local organisations to help them showcase their innovation and fulfill their Corporate Social Responsibility objectives. We also provide original meeting facilities - ranging from meeting rooms to show theaters - along with tailor-made services (catering, visits, workshops, etc.). Work with us and enrich your organisation. Contact us on 01224 640340 or corporate@ASC.scot
