Today, the Lancaster Science Factory houses over 65 hands-on exhibits, and hosts a wide variety of educational programs, workshops, and events throughout the year. The Science Cafe features daily hands-on experiments and demonstrations in a diner-like setting. The Science Factory is a member of the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC), an organization that links science centers and museums around the world.
The Lancaster Science Factory is not only a part of the community – it serves the community. Grants from generous donors make the Science Factory accessible to youth groups and agencies throughout Lancaster County. All of the Science Factory’s exhibits align with Pennsylvania Academic Standards, and many schools visit the Science Factory on field trips throughout the year for experiments and demonstrations that cannot be done in the classroom.
The Lancaster Science Factory enriches the community by providing a unique space for visitors of all ages to explore scientific concepts through hands-on activities. In the future, the Science Factory hopes to grow its collection of excellent exhibits, continue educational programming, expand its volunteer base, and continue to serve the community.
The Lancaster Science Factory’s mission is to inspire curiosity, creativity, and confidence by fostering an inclusive environment for hands-on STEM exploration.

Unlocked Closet is a nonprofit organization actively serving and supporting local foster and adoptive families. Their goal is to surround these children and families with love and share their burdens by providing free clothing, furniture, toiletries, and more. It is their hope to create, strengthen, and maintain a positive local foster/adoptive community.
Their desire is to empower foster and adopted children by providing, free of charge, items that they may call their own. In the future, we would like to expand upon this through scholarships for lessons, camps, colleges, and more. This is their way of building self-esteem and value within the foster and adoptive community, especially within the children. At Unlocked Closet, they hope to promote emotional healing and unlock the door to positive outcomes.
