Unexpected Journeys: WWCM exhibit
Tax deductible
The Wonder Workshop Children's Museum has served Manhattan and the surrounding communities since 1989. We offer school field trips, an after school program, summer camp, educational exhibits and events, and more. We operate with donations and grants, distributing scholarships to many of the families we serve.
An active need we see is to educate our children about natural disasters such as hurricanes, wildfires, tornadoes, and floods that affect our world daily and how to prepare for these disasters. It is critical for environments, such as Wonder Workshop Children’s Museum, to support this development so that children grow feeling competent and confident in exploring the world around them and solving problems that arise in life.
We would like your help to create an interactive exhibit for our community's children and families. With your support, we envision a new permanent exhibit, "Unexpected Journeys", that will have:
- Meteorologist's lab with weather maps and gauges and a PA system to warn fellow classmates of the coming storms. Estimated cost: $1,250
- Virtual reality experience allowing children to gain first-hand perspectives of natural through videos and other interactive games by providing a 360-degree immersive visual and auditory experience. Estimated cost: $6,500
- Team simulations to create and enact an emergency response plan to a hypothetical natural disaster situation. Estimated cost: $4,150
- Staffing to support the exhibit creation and maintenance. Estimated cost: $3,600
With your support, we hope to implement these components and others of the “Unexpected Journeys” exhibit to develop informed and active children, families, and community members. Would you like to help in another way? We'd love to have you! Our email is [email redacted] or phone at [phone redacted].
Wonder Workshop’s mission is to promote education in the arts, sciences, and humanities. Our goal is to develop self-reliant children, families, and community members. Our hands-on activities and exhibits instill a desire for lifelong learning, recognizing our cultural diversity, and fostering creative potential.
