How is The Works Museum different?

The Works Museum is where kids are engineers! Our focus on engineering encourages kids to be builders, designers, and problem solvers, in our hands-on exhibits and in camps, field trips and family programs.

Our mission: To inspire the next generation of innovators, engineers, and creative problem solvers.

OUR IMPACT

What People Are Saying

“I can’t say enough good things about The Works. It is tricky to find activities that are engaging, educational, and FUN for children his age — especially activities that don’t involve the grown-ups climbing through two-stories of plastic tunnels to keep up with the kiddo! I so appreciate and value a space that provides hands-on STEM learning in a free-play setting.”
— The Works Museum Visitor
“Great instructors- you can tell they enjoy what they teach our kid and that they are truly interested in getting to know him as a person.”
— Camp Parent
“Each activity the She Engineers [program] provided was interactive and able to tailor one-on-one mentoring, or group collaboration. I was blown away by how engaged and thoughtful the volunteers were with [our participants], and they continue to talk about those activities, months later.””
— YWCA Girls Inc. Manager, Claire Allen
