| Desc | 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). The museum served 645,00 visitors up from 417,000 from the prior year. There were two main factors for this drastic increase in attendance: 1) The public's robust return to normalcy post COVD and 2) The museum began opening Sundays, which had been a day which was closed for the previous 3 years. About 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. | Desc |
