Student Advisory Board

We need your help! We’re looking for student leaders (age 13-18) in the Treasure Valley who wish to provide insight and ideas for STEAM programming to the community through the Discovery Center of Idaho. Student leaders can make a valuable and lasting impact in the Treasure Valley by collaborating and advising on current and future program offerings to support STEAM interest in traditional underrepresented populations. 

Want to get involved or have questions? Contact education@dcidaho.org.
