About Dundee Science Centre

Dundee Science Centre is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee, a visitor attraction and lifelong learning resource for the community.

We are here to help families have fun and learn together, and in 2023-24 we engaged with some 250,000 people through blended engagement reaching into Tayside and Fife communities and beyond, and including – in-Centre visits (families and schools), our annual science festival, science in own setting, community outreach, and digital on-line learning,

We work with our partners to bring together expertise from across a range of sectors to co-create and deliver new science engagement opportunities that fit the emerging needs of our audiences. This includes working alongside researchers, providing STEM clubs, providing career ready student placements and making special needs opportunities available, all leading to more active, confident, and healthier lifestyles.
