The Aspen Science Center seeks to convert the Old Power House to a world-class discovery center for science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), with programs for pre-school to adults in a wide range of subjects including astronomy, biology, chemistry, computers, electronics, mechanics, and physics. This plan will educate and inspire our children, enhance Aspen’s image, and broaden its attraction to people from all over the world.
The Center will provide a vehicle for non-profits in the Valley (e.g., ACES, Roaring Fork River Conservancy, Wilderness Workshop, Aspen Music Festival) to develop programs in science, arts, & creativity. It will be a community resource, including facilities like a café for community gatherings, and will seek broad community input in designing programs and activities. The Center will actively work with other non-profits to offer space for a variety of community activities. It will include an outdoor science park exploring the environment, geology,motion, energy, music, sky, water, light, sound, wind, weather, and other topics.
We the undersigned citizens of the Roaring Fork Valley strongly support this endeavor and urge the Aspen City Council to lease the Old Power House to the Aspen Science Center to create the facility described above.

I am truly stunned by the level of support for this project. Being able to see how many people care about turning the Old Power House into a hub for discovery is humbling. This momentum belongs entirely to all of you.

This would be so good for the valley. My grandkids would be there every single weekend.
PLEASE make this happen. Science education is so important and we need a real space for it.
100 block of W Francis St, Aspen.
The power house is empty anyway so why not use it for something good? Kids need this.

I could not agrre more wth having a permanent space for the Aspen Science Center and the old power house would be a perfect location. We are new to the valley and I can see a real need for more extra curricular activities. My daughter won 2nd in state for the 2014 science fair competition in Fort Collins. It is sad that the public schools do not provide the resources to educate children to participate in the yearly regional and state science fair competitions. My daughter attended acharter school in Monument prior to our move here. They included in school preparation for this. A science center could help fill this void in the local school system.
