Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.
By rethinking the framework for future learning environments Inspiria Science Center by AART Architects combines learning and architecture into an eventful science center. Designed as a passive house including a wide range of eco-friendly solutions, the building design supports the activities within the science center. Daylight floods through the extensive glass facades and the many skylights into the exhibition halls and the two-story atrium. In addition a wastewater treatment plant recycles the water for use throughout the science center while a wind turbine and a solar cell panel generate electricity and a solar hot water system creates domestic hot water. These facilities are not just means to an end but are designed as a part of the exhibitions and they can be seen in action by the school children. Last but not least the science center is adapted to the surrounding landscape with the three wings radiating out from the two-storey atrium. This distinctive architecture symbolises the cycle of nature and reflects the science building’s key topics: health, energy, and the environment.

Lower Columbia College is proud to host the annual Science Olympiad where K-12 and High School students
complete in academic workshops. Students have gone through much preparation, commitment, coaching and
practice all year for this event. Competitions are related to a multitude of studies such as Genetics,
Engineering, Technology, Thermodynamics, Physics, Anatomy, Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry and more.
Clearing out the loft today. Came across a binder full of these:
I had them at school, probably in my second year, which would be late 1967 or early 1968.
Beautiful. hand drawn artwork from before the age of Photoshop.
Packed full of explanations of all the basic scientific principles. I learnt an incredible amount from these.
The annual Science Rocks! summer camp for area middle school students gives them the opportunity to learn about water conservation, health sciences, and even astronomy.

The Science Carnival is sponsored by the CSU Channel Islands science departments under the leadership of Dr. Phil Hampton, Professor of Chemistry. This annual event first started in Fall 2009 with approximately 250 preschool through eighth (PK-8) grade students attending the event. Over 2200 PK-8 students and their families attended the 2016 Science Carnival.

The Science Museum in London should really showcase British inventions particularly when they were at the cutting edge of science. This is a Swiss machine and we happen to know that the first British machine is in the museums hands because Peter put it there!!
Do you know what is reincarnation? And what is the science behind it? The one who believes that i am this name and i am this body, that ego takes new birth, the Soul remains as it is.
