The mission statement for Experiment PDX is that it is a space for arts, science, curiosity, and creation. The program has teamed up with local educators and professionals to offer S.T.E.A.M. events, after-school programs, summer camps, and classes, workshops, and lectures by local artists, intellectuals, and culturalists.

One parent testimonial states: “My two daughters have been participating in the Science Buddy program and it is amazing. Molly has a massive amount of knowledge in so many areas of science. Anything they are curious about she is able to dive deep on. They have learned a ton and she has been instrumental in nurturing their enthusiasm for science and the world!” - Kit S.
