Summer camp registrations are now open. Come spend the summer with us learning all about STEM. Camps are located from Parachute all the way to Aspen.
EXPLORE SUMMER CAMPSAdvancing public understanding of science through lifelong discovery, exploration, and education.
Aspen Science Center is proud to serve as the only non-profit in the Aspen to Parachute region focusing exclusively on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education for people of all ages. Our hands-on, engaging, bilingual programs and events are designed to spark curiosity, cultivate critical thinking, and illustrate how science can be used to better understand our world. Through strong partnerships with local communities, schools, and other nonprofits region-wide, ASC delivers a variety of year-round programs directly in each community it serves, bridging gaps in STEM education, creating opportunities for lifelong learning, and building a STEM-empowered citizenry.
Our after-school programs provide a fun, structured environment where students can dive deeper into STEM through hands-on activities and collaborative projects. These sessions are designed to spark creativity and reinforce classroom learning in an engaging, supportive space.

Learn More ->2025 has been a record-breaking year of program delivery and community impact for Aspen Science Center! Thanks to key partnerships, a talented and dedicated staff, and overwhelming community support, ASC has reached more individuals with a variety of STEM programs than ever before!
Providing STEM programs year-round in Aspen, Snowmass, Basalt, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, New Castle, Silt, Rifle, and Parachute.
Founded in Aspen in 2005 by George Stranahan and a group of STEM education-oriented individuals.
8631 people served across all of the 9 major communities in the Roaring Fork Valley.
Join us for a frozen adventure! Hosted in partnership with the Town of Snowmass and Limelight Hotel, participants can complete the Ice Age Passport Walk with an ASC Educator and learn all about the world-renowned Snowmass dig site.
What a spectacular event! Standing room only. A whole cafeteria. I was so impressed, moved, entertained, stimulated…wow! Out of the park. The energy spilled out into the parking lot with kids running around proudly with their robots, lights blinking, propellers whirring. I loved the robot drawings too.
Thank you so much for a wonderful field trip and for the slide show. The kids loved learning about the mastodons and giant sloths!
Thank you so much for the program yesterday. So many kids were so engaged--kids we sometimes don't see engaged in that way. What a great activity to break up the CMAS science testing this week.
Our students (and teachers) had a wonderful time during our field trip to ASC. I would highly recommend ASC STEM programming, and would love to return with our students in the future!
It has been a joy to see the kids excited to go to each class and proud to show what they have learned at the end. Thanks and we look forward to working with you all again soon!
Our son enjoyed the robotics class tremendously and always looks forward to seeing Paul in the coding class at the library. You guys have the best programs, and we deeply appreciate all that you do!!!
Thank you for a fantastic field study again. My colleague was the one who set this up with you all a few years back. It was a success again this year. I particularly love that the students get to make the kaleidoscopes to bring home. These centers are aligned with the Colorado standards and are a perfect end to our light/sound/waves unit. Many students said the tuning forks were their favorite activity. Thank you again for organizing this. We really enjoyed it.
My son is taking your robotics after school program on Wednesdays. He cannot stop talking about all the fun stuff you are doing. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful opportunity for him and the kiddos in the valley.
Aspen Science camp was one of the best decisions of the summer and a truly remarkable experience for my children. They were so empowered by learning new knowledge and skills, all whilst having a great time everyday. Thank you to the dedicated staff and to ASC.
Our kids LOVE coming to your programs! They always look forward to it, it's the highlight of their week!
Aspen Science Center programs engage kids in hands-on learning and STEM topics, helping kids develop future forward skills and competencies.
