Rooted in the belief that everyone learns through experience, the team at David Heil & Associates, Inc. (DHA) produces innovative programs for adults and children that highlight the relevance of science and technology in everyday life and create a desire for future learning. DHA is based in Portland, Oregon, a diverse metropolis with a thriving culture, high-tech economy, and environmental conscience. Home to Nike and Intel as well as Oregon Health & Science University and other institutions of higher learning, the area also houses the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the Oregon Zoo, and numerous refuges and learning centers for the people of the city to enjoy and learn about the rich nature of the Pacific Northwest. This is where David Heil has gathered a small cadre of associates and staff to form David Heil & Associates, Inc. Together, we have decades of experience and expertise in science, education, museum studies, exhibit concept and development, envisioning and business planning, as well as a commitment to the Northwest, to science, education, enrichment, exploration and communication. If your organization is looking to self-define, grow, reorganize, create, or reach out, please give us a call.
