DuPage Children's Museum

The DuPage Children’s Museum will fabricate ten new air exhibits for AWEsome Air, which is part of a larger new exhibition: AWEsome Energy (Air, Water and Electricity). They will direct special attention to 7 to 10-year-olds to align their experiences with school curriculum and Common Core science standards and to offer independent, sophisticated, and complex experiences. Through a partnership with the Illinois Math and Science Academy, the project will develop a software application (tablet computers on-site and a mobile application to allow remote access) to expand and deepen children’s and adult’s science learning. AWEsome Air is designed to ignite young children’s interest in science and encourage STEM careers, building a stronger future workforce.
