Members of the Board of Trustees are elected to serve a term of 3 years, during which they will play an active role in Orlando Science Center’s continued success. Board members provide guidance that enables Orlando Science Center to move forward on its ongoing five-year strategic plan, which most recently includes a complete reimagination of its giant-screen theater as part of its Unlock Science Campaign.
Recently, Orlando Science Center has said goodbye to its beloved Dr. Philips CineDome after nearly 30 years of stunning panoramic films. The theater will undergo a full renovation, reopening with a fully digital 8K projector and planetarium in Spring 2026.
Unlock Science is a multi-million-dollar, multi-year fundraising effort to invest in the future of Orlando Science Center and its commitment to be a strong resource for informal science learning, family engagement and workforce development. The campaign has currently raised over $29 million since 2014 and completely transformed the Science Center with projects like KidsTown, the STEM Discovery Center, and the all-new Life exhibit.
