The Discovery Science Place is an affiliate of the American Science Technology Centers (ASTC) and the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM). Discovery Science Place members receive added benefits when visiting other museums

affiliated with these organizations. Memberships to the Discovery Science Place are
available to fit every family size and budget.

The Discovery Science Place offers three exhibit halls where kids of all ages are free to move about and explore.
The museum is currently offering three exhibits, Discovery Landing and Hometown, USA

Open to the public as of July 31, 2009, the new Suddenlink Cyber Cafe features Internet safety computer stations for kids, Internet safety videos, and take-home literature for parents and caregivers. It is an opportunity for
families to learn about Internet safety together in a safe environment.

Construction of the exhibit truly was a “hands-on” experience for the primary sponsors. Volunteers consisting of top management from Suddenlink constructed, painted and floored the exhibit area. They also
provided the equipment and wired the interactive computer stations.

“We believe in the educational value of hands-on learning environment provided at Discovery Science Place,” explains Russell Moreland, general manager for Suddenlink. “Our team embraced the hands-on culture of the museum by working together to bring the Internet Safety exhibit to life for
the RAISE program and Discovery Science Place.”

RAISE – Raising Awareness in Internet Safety through Education – brings awareness and provides tools to parents, educators and caregivers about ways to make the Internet a safer place for kids. The RAISE Program is a public-private partnership involving Suddenlink Communications, Discovery Science Place,
Tyler ISD and the City of Tyler Police Department
