Al Éxito is proud to partner with the Science Center of Iowa as it works to make science more accessible to Spanish-speaking youth and families!

Our Executive Director, Gabby Guerra, serves on SCI’s Latino Advisory Council, helping guide these changes with the experiences and perspectives of our community. Adding exhibit information and signage in English and Spanish will help more families learn, explore, and discover together.

Celebrate with us at ¡Ciencia para todos!, a FREE evening featuring bilingual science programming, cultural performances, and hands-on activities for the whole family!

Saturday, October 3 | 5–8 p.m.
Science Center of Iowa, 401 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Pkwy., Des Moines
