Chicago Children’s Museum created Curiosity Classrooms in partnership with Chicago Public Schools as hands-on, multisensory spaces designed for Pre-K to 2nd-grade students.
At this age and stage, curiosity and creative thinking are what really matter for success in STEAM education and early childhood learning.
Curiosity Classrooms are innovative STEAM learning environments that inspire curiosity, inquiry, and open-ended exploration of the physical and natural world.
Each Curiosity Classroom has 9 activity areas that inspire collaboration, curiosity, and exploration through hands-on learning opportunities.
