The Catawba Science Center’s Guild is comprised of a dedicated group of volunteers who help organize, coordinate, staff, and host the annual Italian Dinner & Auction fundraiser each spring. Organized in February 1986, the Guild spends numerous volunteer hours developing a unique theme, concepts, and décor as well as obtaining all the donations for the live and online auctions all original to that year. Through the Guild’s generous support, CSC’s largest annual fundraiser continues to provide necessary funding for our educational programming and exhibits. Meetings are held September through April annually.

This place was great. We have kids from 8 to 1 and they all had a great time. What I really liked is most of the exhibits are hands on and that really kept them occupied.
Fabulous and I don’t often give praise. We took our grandson and were there for hours. He loved it and so did we.
What a wonderful place to visit! Great environment to learn and the staff is very helpful! Hickory is lucky to have great family education and entertainment.
We love the Science Center! I take my 2 and 4 year old boys weekly to play and enjoy the exhibits. The staff are wonderful and the classes offered are excellent! We are so blessed to have such an amazing resource in our area.
Took the kiddos and they loved it. Employees were nice and helpful. If your looking for something to do with the kids give this place a shot.
