Western Colorado Math & Science Center

Western Colorado Math & Science Center
2660 Unaweep Avenue
Grand Junction, CO 81503
(970) 254-1626
{IIF, "'The Western Colorado Math & Science Center is a non-profit, hands-on facility, operating to: “Create enthusiasm and excitement for math and science” for all ages. It is directed by its founder, John McConnell, and operates with a marvelous band of dedicated volunteers who bring math and science alive for our visitors. The volunteers cover all ages, but retirees make up the majority. The Center operates with no paid staff in a public school building, thanks to the Mesa County School District 51. We are a 501{c}3 non-profit organization. The idea was to put the basic elements of science out on tables with descriptions for students and adults to investigate hands-on. This method presents the most displays for a given dollar. A majority of the stations have been constructed in my shop, some purchased, and those constructed by several of our great volunteers. We are constantly changing and adding displays. ' = ''", "", "
