Did you know we are building the Northern Virginia Science Center? Step behind the scenes and into the world of museum design! In Museum Makers, campers will become exhibit engineers and museum curators as they explore how museums like the future Northern Virginia Science Center create spaces that inspire curiosity and wonder. Each day will spotlight a different kind of museum gallery—from art to animals to outer space—inviting campers to dream and design their own museum!
In Museum Makers, campers will:
🛠️ Meet the Team of Designers! Discover how exhibits come to life through lighting, sound, and storytelling and learn about the jobs that are building the future Science Center.
🛠️ Peek Behind the Scenes! Learn about the nuts and bolts of museums through exploration of the Lab.
🛠️ Design Your Own Gallery! Dream up their own museum gallery inspired by the Northern Virginia Science Center galleries: Flow, Human, Habitat, Wonder, and Helios.
🛠️ Dream Big, Build Together! Collaborate with fellow museum makers to showcase, brand, and promote their own museum.
