Community Impact

What does MOSI mean for our community?

MOSI is the intersection of science, technology and innovation in the Tampa Bay region where conversations and learning happen, knowledge is exchanged and new ideas are celebrated.

We have inspired the 15 million guests who have visited our science center, but our reach goes so much farther.

With the help of our Members, donors, and partners, MOSI provides scholarships for kids from low-income families to go to Science Camp; gives free training to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) educators across Tampa Bay; sends our mobile science lab around the state of Florida to educate and inspire; and much more.
