Roots & Relics is the Kaleidoscope Discovery Center’s annual signature fundraiser supporting hands-on STEAM education for children and teens across mid-Missouri. The Kaleidoscope provides interactive exhibits, robotics teams, engineering competitions, environmental science workshops, chess and strategy programs, summer camps, Teen Science Café events, and Missouri’s statewide Future City® competition. Serving more than 2,500 students annually, the Center connects youth with real-world problem solving and career pathways in science, technology, engineering, art, and math.

Proceeds from Roots & Relics directly fund student scholarships, helping families afford camps, robotics participation, field trips, and afterschool programs. In a rural region where enrichment opportunities can be limited, these scholarships ensure that access to high-quality STEM experiences is based on curiosity—not income.
