Kids can now learn STEM skills and have fun at the same time at the Explorium’s new Marksbury Engineering Gallery.

The grand opening and ribbon-cutting is Wednesday, May 24, 9 a.m. at the children’s museum at 440 W Short St. The museum will open following the ceremonies.

The hands-on learning space is named after the Marksbury Family Foundation, which provided funding to create the permanent gallery encouraging children to explore Science, Technology, Engineering and Math.
