Give New Life to Old Materials.
A simple way to get involved at Arizona Science Center: Donate everyday household items.
Thinking of tossing the cardboard tube from a paper towel roll? Wait! That can enjoy a second life as a rice-filled shaker or a model car. What about an empty soda bottle? We can use that to show curious minds how rockets work.
Look around your home; you’ll be surprised to discover all the ways you can bring science to life with just a few simple materials.
Call us at 602.716.2000 to donate recycled goods.
