WonderLab: Museum of Science, Health, and Technology
WonderLab is a private 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to provide opportunities for people of all ages, especially children, to experience the wonder and excitement of science through hands-on exhibits and programs that stimulate curiosity, encourage exploration, and foster lifelong learning. It remains a grassroots organization supported by hundreds of volunteers, staffed by many individuals who nurtured it from its beginnings and treasured as a valuable asset by the community. It was recently selected as a Top 25 Science Center in the United States, ranked #17 by Parents magazine in 2008.
All exhibits, programs, and summer science camps support Indiana science and math academic standards. Science programs are offered all year for elementary-age children and their families, and for specific ages, such as toddlers/preschoolers (Science Soup series), preschoolers (Discovery Time series), elementary school (WonderCamp), teens (Teen Challenge Nights series), and adults (joint programs with IU Continuing Studies). More than 11,000 children visit on school field trips each year, having a shared experience that teachers can tap into when covering different science units later.
