To inspire creaitive thinking, future inventors, and early entrepreneurs.

The Cade Museum for Creativity + Invention, located in Gainesville, Florida, is named for Dr. James Robert Cade, the physician, musician, researcher and inventor best known for leading the University of Florida team that created Gatorade.

The Mission of the Museum is to:

Inspire creative thinking, inspire future inventors and inspire early entrepreneurs.

Inspiration - from exhibits and programs highlighting other inventors and entrepreneurs

Knowledge - Science, technology engineering and mathetmatics as well as love of the arts are the basis for most great advancements

Opportunity - You have to get messy, make mistakes, try again, work with new people, experiment. Making mistakes and learning from them is part of the process.

Inspiration. Knowledge. Opportunity. - That’s the journey.

The Cade Museum has already begun offering programming throughout our region in temporary space and through community partners. We will begin construction on our permanent home, The Cade Museum, in 2015, We hope that it will inspire the next generation of creative thinkers and inventors through exhibits and programs, imparting STEAM (science, technology, engineering arts and mathematics) knowledge combined with the arts, and opportunity to be creative in hands-on studios and labs.
