Description

As the agency reported it.

Wonderbox will address a critical need in mississippi for increased education in steam subjects during elementary grades-particularly for those individuals who are underserved and lack adequate access to resources. Through the proposed exhibit area and programming, children from all backgrounds will explore topics such as design, art, coding, robotics, engineering, and circuitry. IT will encourage active exploration and inquiry-based learning while facilitating parent/caregiver interaction with hands-on activities and guided conversations that will inspire children to design, create, and invent. Additionally, the gallery will offer children opportunities to interact with concepts from industries that are vital to mississippi?s economy in an environment that encourages innovation and creative problem solving.
