Building the Museum

We are currently in the process of securing a site for the Children’s Science Center and are scouring the region searching for the ideal location for this unique interactive math and science museum.

Besides securing a site, we’re also in the process of developing the interactive exhibits and family amenities that will make Children’s Science Center a world-class educational facility devoted to making math and science cool for kids.

We know the families in our region are well-traveled and creative, and we’d like to hear from you about what you’ve enjoyed at other children’s museums or would like to see in Children’s Science Center. Please send your suggestions and comments to Suggestions@TheChildrensScienceCenter.org.

We hope to open our doors by next fall, but it’s going to take a lot of work and we’re going to need your help!

Donate

The Children’s Science Center is a community resource being developed for kids, by kids. Please consider giving a charitable gift of any size to help fund this project, or help connect us to companies and foundations that would be interested in supporting this worthwhile endeavor. For more information on donating to Children’s Science Center, please visit our How To Donate page.

Volunteers

As we prepare to open our doors, we need to get the word out to the region that we are coming. We need people who are willing to organize and/or speak at informational meetings for educational, community and religious groups. The more people we can tell about Children’s Science Center, the faster we can build the world-class facility Northern Virginia deserves. You may already have discovered Children’s Science Center at one of the recent community events this summer: Viva Vienna, Celebrate Fairfax, Reston Festival or others. We rely on volunteers to help staff our booths at these events, where we demonstrate cool science activities for children ages 2 to 12. Besides general volunteers such as these, we also are in of need specialized professionals to diversify our volunteer corps. For more information, please visit our How to Volunteer page.
