Mission Statement
KID Museum is our region’s pioneering experiential museum and educational makerspace. We foster the "Mind of a Maker" in kids and youth, empowering the next generation with the skills to invent the future.
Description
Through hands-on programming for kids and youth (ages 4-14), we challenge young people to be active makers, not just passive observers. We design and deliver programs across the full continuum of learning for kids in pre-K through middle school, in partnership with educators and schools. Our weekend onsite programs, community events, and live, virtual sessions encourage families to learn and explore together.
Through embedded learning partnerships with local public and independent schools, we support students and teachers in developing new skills and the "Mind of a Maker." This philosophy embodies the mindset that we believe will be necessary for the next generation to successfully compete in an increasingly diverse, interconnected, and rapidly changing workforce, driven by technology.
