Griffin MSI’s Education team creates standards-aligned educational programs and brings STE(A)M learning to students, educators and community members, at the Museum, in the classroom and beyond.
At the Museum
Bring your students to experience hands-on, real-world examples of science. General Admission is free for Illinois PreK-12 schools and discounted for out-of-state schools.
