Quest Science Center held a groundbreaking ceremony at the location of its new Quest Plaza in Stockmen’s Park in downtown Livermore earlier this summer.
Quest Plaza will serve to be an open-air learning and community space, boasting 5,000 square feet and holding up to 100 people for various community events such as music events, summer camps and technology programs.

A new Quest Science Center exhibit at the Bankhead Theater Gallery views the beauty of nature through the lens of science, math and computer programming.
The free exhibit, âSketches in Code: Randomness & Patterns in Science and Art,â will be on display at the gallery, 2400 First St., Livermore, through May 2.

According to Quest founder and CFO Alan Burnham, the idea for the exhibit came from a desire to follow up on the science centerâs collaboration with LVPAC two years ago to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. Burnham said the 2019 Apollo 11 exhibit âwas the most successful art installation to dateâ at the Bankhead gallery.
