STEM Experiences for Everyone

Outreach and community engagement are at the forefront of our mission to break barriers and ignite curiosities. While we work to establish the permanent museum, we will continue to bring interactive, educational, hands-on, age-appropriate STEM experiences to public events in the FM area. Be sure to explore our upcoming events below, and get ready to unlock your inner scientist.
