What’s New?

October brings to conclusion our Decazeum (Decade of Amazeum) celebration, 10 months throughout 2025 celebrating 10 years of growth and impact in this phenomenal community. We’ve posted stories from founders, looked at photos from over 10 years of exploration, had some great family photo re-enactments of THEN & NOW in the museum, and laughed at the fun and learning we’ve had together along the way...

This fall, the Scott Family Amazeum is taking playful learning on the road. Our team members will join educators from across the nation at two important conferences: the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Annual Conference and the Arkansas Early Childhood Association (AECA) Conference.

The Scott Family Amazeum is proud to announce that our Chief Executive Officer, Sam Dean, has been elected to serve as Chair-Elect of the Association of Science and Technology Centers (ASTC) Board of Directors. His two-year term begins on September 8, 2025.

Our Sr. Marketing and Communications Coordinator, Holland Hayden, and Marketing and Communications Coordinator, Ella Sands, attended the recent AI conference, pictured second from the right in the first and second rows.

Back-to-school season can bring excitement, fresh starts, and—let’s be honest—a little chaos.
Whether your child is stepping into the classroom for the first time or returning for another year,
a few intentional habits can make the transition smoother for the whole family.

We were so excited to welcome Jo Johnson Overby to the Amazeum! Jo is a Northwest Arkansas mom, content creator, podcast host, business educator, and all-around creative force - and we absolutely love everything she shares about motherhood, family life, and building a brand with heart.

Popular YouTube family channel A for Adley explored the Amazeum—an interactive children’s museum in Bentonville, Arkansas—and brought their playful energy to every corner of the museum!

On June 3rd, we didn’t just break ground—we built momentum.
