The Science Zone Inc., a non-profit organization, has been awarded a $101,596 Project Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the Museums for America (CFDA 45.301) program. The grant funds will be used to fabricate a series of mobile, interactive "FlexCart" exhibits to teach STEM topics to underserved communities across Wyoming.

This project aims to strengthen the ability of The Science Zone to serve the public more effectively by advancing its mission and strategic goals through September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025.
