Bring the THCM to You

Have science, will travel!

While we love our facility - and enjoy when people come to visit, we realize that sometimes we need to take the museum on location.

Our staff is happy to partner with you! We happily work with After-School Programs, local libraries, Boy and Girl Scouts, PTO STEM nights, churches, home-school groups, organizations and clubs.
