Keep the Exploration Going

Your visit doesn’t have to end when you leave the exhibits. Stop by the STEM Shoppe, located in the Tom & Frances Leach Foundation Lobby, and take a little science home with you.

From exclusive North Dakota’s Gateway to Science creations to educational toys and unique gifts, the STEM Shoppe is full of items that encourage hands-on learning, creativity, and play. With new and seasonal products arriving throughout the year, there’s always something new to find. 

Hands-On Fun at Home

Bring the excitement of the science center home with our exclusive STEM at Home Kits. Put together by the North Dakota’s Gateway to Science team, these activities turn everyday learning into an adventure.

Build a catapult, engineer a Touchdown Lunar Lander, and explore engaging challenges that encourage problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking.
