Kaleideum is an interactive museum of arts, sciences, and exploration formed by the merger of The Children's Museum of Winston-Salem and SciWorks in July 2016. Its mission is to inspire wonder, curiosity, and lifelong learning through interactive play and discovery, achieved by fusing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), literacy, and the arts. Kaleideum provides hands-on exhibits, educational programs, and immersive learning experiences designed to spark imagination and intellectual curiosity in visitors of all ages. The museum is committed to creating an inclusive learning ecosystem and removing barriers to participation in informal education, offering free and subsidized programs, especially for underserved communities. Kaleideum aims to build confidence, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills through inquiry-based experiences and maker-centered activities.
