CHILDREN'S MUSEUM INC
Programs
STEM Literacy and Engagement Programs
The Museum employs credentialled educators who manage thirteen bilingual (English/Spanish) exhibit galleries, an on-site branch of the Houston Public Library, and programming that changes weekly. These exhibits/programs are focused on the development of literacy and engagement in hands-on, inquiry-based investigations of science, technology, engineering, and math (i.e., the STEM disciplines). Due to the Novel Coronavirus pandemic that resulted in closure of the Museum, year-over year comparisons are skewed. The museum closed to the general public between August 31, 2020 and June 2021, causing a sizable increase in overall Fiscal Year 2022 attendance numbers when compared to the previous fiscal year. In FY22, The Museum served 417,000 visitors up from 51,000 from the prior year due to Coronavirus related closures. One-third of the visitors receive free admission via weekly free family nights and the open doors free museum admission passes distributed to low-income families by community-based partners at 1,060+ locations across Greater Houston.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2021 – Jun 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$6.8MCommunity Literacy and STEM Outreach
