Programming & Outreach

More Than Play

The S.T.R.E.A.M. TEAM

We spark discovery right here in the Bronx. Both our on-site and in-school programming initiatives are led by local educators and artists. These experiences expose children to explore different STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) concepts through robust activities. We learn about the world around us in our environmental science curriculum and the necessity of self expression in our arts after schools.

  • Our Mission: Our focus is vast. We aim to foster creativity and empower our community through intentional experiences where children can feel safe, seen and curious. Through human connection we create intergenerational learning environments where adults learn with and from children. Additionally, our experiences address gaps for children in the Bronx in areas of technology and literacy.

  • In-Museum Experience: From weekly workshops led by local teaching artists and visiting authors to science explorations engineered by our team, our building is buzzing with daily activities all fueled by curiosity.

  • Looking Ahead: We are continuously planning our partnerships with schools! If you’re interested in joining our mailing list or partnering with BxCM, please contact us at education@bxcm.org. Our footprint within the community is important to us and our vision includes one day bringing back our iconic bus—fully upgraded—to extend our museum's reach back into the Boogie Down Bronx.
