“It’s not just a museum. It’s a movement.”

Sam Dean, Chief Executive Officer

We asked community members like you what more
we can do for Northwest Arkansas. You told us about unmet needs we can serve, highlighted opportunities for an increasingly diverse population, and requested that we consider expanding access to STEAM experiences.
 We heard you. That's why I'm excited to share the EXP&ING Futures campaign with you. A campaign to grow the Amazeum’s capacity to fulfill its mission by embracing where we are today, and responding with, “Yes, &...”

“It really opened my mind to a ton of different career options.”

Yes, this is Jaseela, a recent high school graduate. Jaseela’s curiosity led her to participate in the inaugural MakeHer Squad at the Amazeum where she made her idea for an aquarium coffee table a reality with the support of the Amazeum's creative team. She credits her experience with helping her develop critical thinking and problem solving skills.

 &, She discovered the intrinsic value of making as a process that not only hones life-long skills, but also enriches life by providing a creative outlet and connecting the community.

“When you get people together creating, really cool connections happen.”

Yes, this is Canon, a University of Arkansas College student majoring in computer science. Canon loves robots – designing, building and programming them. Canon spends much of his time thinking about how robotics can better people’s lives. Canon is the co-founder of MORE Technologies, the creator of MOREbot which gives students the flexibility to design their own robot.

 &, Canon believes Amazeum has and will continue to give students like him the opportunity to experience that “ah-ha” moments of discovery that spark a lifetime passion for STEAM learning that transforms to a career they will love.

YOUR GIFT WILL SUPPORT

Phase One will support the expansion of the incredible Amazeum experience and learning approach beyond its four walls and into its outdoor spaces and campus. The Amazeum moments you love, infused with the beauty of the outdoor environment, powered by YOU.

Outdoor Amazeum
This is not a Nature Center nor a Playground. It’s an organic, outdoor STEAM experience unlike anyplace else in Arkansas that flows from our dedication to imagination and innovation.

This world-class outdoor experience complements the Crystal Bridges nature trails and Orchards Park, transforming the area into an outdoor destination.
