Why is WonderPass important?
WonderPass is made possible by funding from the Battelle STEM grant program. “We’re proud to support these community programs that extend STEM learning beyond the traditional classroom,” said Lou Von Thaer, President and CEO of Battelle. “These innovative opportunities can help unleash creativity and build the skills that will be useful to students in the future, and it’s the kind of work our scientists and engineers do every day.”
At the Columbus Museum of Art, we are committed to learning experiences that are curiosity-driven and playful, support imagination, investigation, agency, and healthy social-emotional development. WonderPass will help nurture these critical capacities needed for individual and community well-being in a rapidly changing, highly complex world.
