Inspiration Tours

Join us for a one-hour Inspiration Tour at the Children’s Science Center Lab or a presentation in the community. See below for dates, times, and locations. During these informal conversations, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Meet members of our Leadership Team and Staff

  • Learn about our work today and our long-term vision to build a full-scale science center here in Northern Virginia

  • See first-hand the impact we have each day on our region’s children through hands-on STEM education


Contact us if you're interested in hosting an inspiration tour!



Given our work, we love to be inclusive to children in almost all we do, but Inspiration Tours are geared for adults.

Thank You to Our 2025 Sponsors
