Cognition

Business Partner Opportunities 2025-2026

As the local science and discovery center, Cognition has lots of potential to offer the region: a field trip location to serve at-risk youth, family destination that brings customers to the area, encouraging life-long learners, inspiring young minds in STEM career paths, inspiring parents and grandparents to get involved in the community, and so much more!

Cognition is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We need community support to help keep our center functional for year-round explorations, while keeping our costs accessible to local families and schools. Please consider one of these sponsorship opportunities:
