We understand that children make profound meaning from direct experience, and facilitating pathways for hands-on exploratory play is what our science center is all about. As part of our growing commitment to STEM education, we founded the innovative STEAMlab program, offering personally relevant project-based learning opportunities to kids ages 7 and up with the aim of bolstering interest and expertise in 21st century skills. Unlike other educational opportunities in the region, we are the only organization dedicated exclusively to providing hands-on, sensory exhibits and programs that foster imagination, curiosity and promote self-confidence.
