We're thrilled to announce that we've been awarded a $250,000 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services for the third consecutive year! This prestigious Museums for America Program grant will support our innovative "Desert to the Stars" project, an interactive climber exhibit exploring the natural environment of Southern Nevada. Among 347 applications, our project was recognized for its exceptional merit and innovative approach to lifelong learning and community engagement. Here’s what you can look forward to with "Desert to the Stars": 🌟 Promoting curiosity and exploration of the natural environment 🌟 Strengthening gross motor skills and physical activity 🌟 Modulating excess sound in the museum 🌟 Providing a welcoming, accessible environment for all ages and abilities 🌟 Prioritizing the safety of all guests This centerpiece exhibit will combine immersive technology and interactive components. It will take visitors on a journey from the "desert floor" to the "sky and stars," teaching them about environmental science, biology, and astronomy along the way. We're excited to continue providing unique and engaging learning experiences for our community. Stay tuned for updates on the fabrication, installation, and evaluation of this reimagined exhibit over the next two years! Thank you, IMLS, the Association of Children's Museums, and our Nevada delegation, for your continued support in empowering young learners through curiosity, innovation, and engagement. Together, we are shaping the future of DISCOVERY!
