What’s New?

At the Amazeum, we’re not just inspiring the next generation of curious minds—we’re also empowering those who will guide them: our educators. This summer, we were fortunate to have two remarkable summer camp interns, Maddy Adkins and Addy Cassell, join our team. Both upcoming educators, Maddy and Addy spent the summer facilitating educational activities at our camps, and their experiences have profoundly influenced their teaching philosophies. In a recent interview, they shared insights into how their time at the Amazeum has prepared them for the classroom and shaped their vision for the future of education.

Last weekend, the Amazeum was abuzz with excitement as we hosted a unique community spotlight event featuring the dynamic duo of Papa Rap and MR.S1NGH, also known as DilSkillz. This event, part of the Ra-Ve Cultural Foundation House Concert series, brought together the vibrant sounds of Puerto Rican Caribbean rhythms and Punjabi rap, creating an unforgettable fusion of cultures and music.

What is the Teen Sticker Contest?At the Amazeum, we believe in nurturing creativity and providing a platform for young artists to showcase their talents. Our annual Teen Sticker Contest is a vibrant celebration of youth creativity, where teens get the chance to express themselves through art and design. This contest is not just about creating stickers; it's about encouraging artistic exploration, fostering a sense of community, and giving teens the opportunity to see their work come to life.

The Amazeum is more than just a museum; it's a place where children like Thomas can flourish, learn, and create lasting memories.

The Youth Maker Market program is not just about selling products; it's about nurturing the next generation of innovators, artists, and leaders.

The Fraser family's story embodies the spirit of exploration and discovery at the Amazeum.

In February 2022, one of my best friends, Lisa, and I took our kids to the Amazeum after a snow day. While the kids ran and played, we sat and talked catching up about all the life things. I had been widowed 2.5 years prior and was single and shared with her I would be open to going on a date, but I didn't think it would ever happen because I was completely terrified of online dating and didn't know how to meet anyone as a single mom. I told her literally "he would have to fall from the sky straight delivery from God"...
