Curious children of all ages
 

Experience

Experiences at the Mid-Hudson Discovery Museum

 

At MHDM, we provide children with impactful and nurturing experiences and programs in spaces that spark curiosity, imagination, and creativity, and guide the next generation to build socialization skills and the ability to understand the complicated world around them.

We take a holistic approach to learning by presenting families and their children with a broad range of activities and experiences. We serve children during their early stages of development and recognize that not all children learn the same way.

We’re adding richer, more authentic STEAM programming based on real-world situations, like home-building and space travel. We show that science is fun and engaging and can make a difference in our daily lives.

We encourage children to make observations, experiment, think critically, and formulate conclusions. Developing these skills early on directly translates into future enthusiasm for, and success in, learning math and science.

We work with school districts as an educational resource – one that engages, educates, and connects students, teachers, and families. We help strengthen science education through professional mentorship for teachers and student field-trips that emphasize “hands-on” and“minds-on” activities.
