ScienceWorks Hands-On Museum in Ashland, Oregon, is a science museum, founded as a non-profit organization in 2001 by a small group of families. The goal was to use an existing 26,000 sq. ft. building to create an interactive science center, to serve the region's schools toward Oregon State science standards. Over 100 hands-on exhibits were built, both in the Museum's shop and by volunteers. Programs were developed, including: field trips for school children, summer camps, live science demonstrations, and weekend themed programming.
