Northern Virginia will soon have a Children’s Science Center; an interactive Children’s museum focused on making science and math cool again.

Their Vision: In an era when industry experts warn that the U.S. education system is failing to provide the math and science skills necessary for kids to compete in the 21st century workforce, Children’s Science Center is committed to growing future scientists and engineers to ensure the continued prosperity of the high-tech industry not only in the Washington D.C. area but the entire nation.

At this time they are working on a securing a physical location and have been bringing the “Museum Without Walls‘ program to local events. We saw them last weekend at the Frostival Event.
