 The National Science Center takes science on the road with its Mobile Discovery Centers (MDC). Housed in 18-wheelers, the mobile centers travel across the country, presenting programs designed to show young people that studying science and math is fun as well as essential to their future. The complete program presented during van visits consists of hands-on, interactive science demonstrations.
The National Science Center (NSC) is a unique partnership between National Science Center, Inc., a non-profit organization, and the United States Army.
 Their Mission:
To be a catalyst that excites America's youth about math, science and technology.
To accomplish this Mission, NSC will:
* Promote science and mathematics education for all ages nationwide.
* Motivate young Americans to seek careers in technology and engineering.
* Produce products and services providing hands-on training in the sciences.
* Operate and maintain a headquarters that functions as a hub for national education programs.
 The NSC's headquarters, Fort Discovery, is located on the scenic Riverwalk in downtown Augusta, GA. This 128,000 square-foot family-oriented math and science center fires the imaginations of children and adults by making math, science and technology come alive with 250 hands-on exhibits, custom digital theater programs, portable planetarium, educational workshops and demonstrations as well as being the home-base for an array of national educational outreach programs.
