Spark Wonder. Invent Possible

What makes the Cade special is its distinctive focus on the power of invention. All of the Museum’s exhibits, programs, and other activities are intentionally designed to inspire visitors to tap into their own potential to invent and create. Whether it’s by learning the surprisingly relatable life stories of transformational inventors, hands-on experiences with interactive exhibits or experiments, or lively Q&A sessions with working inventors or entrepreneurs.

At the end of each visit, visitors should not only come away with a new understanding of what it means to be an inventor but with the excitement and curiosity to dream up their own great ideas.
