What you’ll impact…
The HOP Mobile Museum
The Mobile Museum brings hands-on, interactive exhibits directly to you! Designed for kids and families, our mobile museum offers playful learning experiences that spark curiosity and creativity. Keep an eye out for our colorful museum on wheels — we can't wait to bring the fun to you!
Programming for children and teens
Interactive programs designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning in children and teens. From hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) activities to immersive cultural experiences, our workshops and events will provide opportunities for exploration and discovery.
Brick & Mortar Planning & Exhibit Design
By working with FRAME Design Strategies, we're laying the foundation for a permanent children's museum! Our planning process focuses on creating thoughtfully designed, inclusive spaces with interactive exhibits that spark curiosity, creativity, and joyful learning for all children and families.
