The innovative STEAMlab program offers personally relevant project-based learning opportunities to kids with the aim of bolstering interest and expertise in 21st century skills. Come enjoy the STEAMlab as part of your museum experience. Included with membership or admission.
Located at 202 S Willson Ave., the Children’s Museum offers hands-on exhibits, summer science camps, after-school activities, and educational programs throughout the year. Because children make profound meaning from direct experience, CMB programs facilitate pathways for hands-on exploratory play.
