Welcome to Mad Science of Portland & Vancouver

We believe that fostering a love for science, technology, engineering and math at a young age will give children the confidence they need to excel in these fields. For over 30 years, Mad Science has focused on designing and testing experiments and activities that resonate with kids, allowing us to provide innovative, hands-on children's science programs to our communities.
