READY? SET? GIVE!

Programming at The Works Museum offers critical learning experiences that spark a lifelong love of STEM and inspire career aspirations. Ensuring that all children in our community have access to these opportunities is central to our mission. Thanks to the generous support we received in 2024, we made an incredible impact—and there’s still so much more we can achieve!
