KID INVENTOR 2.0
Through March 2021
Remember when (bad) adults used to say, “Why don’t you go out and play in the traffic, kid?” Well, definitely don’t do that! Visit the Museum of the Great Plains for a much safer, far more educational alternative. “Kid Inventor” features a LEGO car raceway, game programming studio, do-it-yourself construction area, paper airplane shooter, and more. Each activity reinforces STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) principles, including design, assembly, testing, and improvement. It’s so much fun, you’ll forget that you’re learning!

Together, they had been nationally known. Learn more about these two fascinating people.
