Your membership card has an expiry date on it, plus we’ll be in touch a few weeks before your membership expires. We don’t want you to miss a thing.

We love all our members, but we’ll tell you a secret: our favourite members are the ones who volunteer. Spreading the word (and the love) of all things STEM is why Scitech runs an active volunteer program . Alternatively, there are many citizen science projects to be a part of.

As if being a member wasn’t benefit enough, we like to give you money off, too. Your membership includes:

• 10% discount at The Discovery Shop
• 10% discount for selected workshops
• 10% off selected events, including Adults Only 18+ events
• 10% discount for Children’s Birthday Parties

Be sure to have your membership card or membership number ready to redeem these discounts.

Generally, we communicate to the primary contact person on the membership by mail and email. We’ll email a regular newsletter as well as special member-only invites letting you know about free or discounted tickets for specific events or workshops. Membership renewals are sent in the post, so keep your eye on your inbox when you know your annual renewal is coming up. Check the What’s On page for events with member discounts. They happen throughout the year.

If a ticketed event or Scitech experience requires you to buy an additional ticket, it will be clearly indicated on all publicity and communications. If you’re unsure, just ask us.
