The Full Package

“Our educators have been teaching STEAM in schools and community centers throughout Alachua County for years, but we’ve got our sights on something more. We’re packaging the full museum experience, from exhibits to our Inventivity curriculum, to activate nontraditional spaces and expand our reach. This is certainly one of the most exciting and innovative projects I’ve been a part of and I can’t wait to find the future inventors who haven’t found us yet!”

Economic Impact

“When we bring our programming outside of the museum and into other communities, we are not only putting our mission in action, we’re driving change on multiple levels. As we’ve been testing our pop-up concepts in small towns, we’ve had shop owners notice the uptick in foot traffic downtown and come over to ask what’s going on. When families drop off their kids to learn with us, they’re going out for lunch, buying produce at the farmer’s market, and fueling their local economy.”

Perfect Partnerships

“The City of Newberry is excited about the possibility of bringing the Cade Museum to our community! Any chance to spark an interest in the next generation, to help them become problem solvers of tomorrow, is a wonderful opportunity. The children in Newberry are inheriting a legacy of curiosity and courage, and I believe that the Cade team can help foster that. It will be a perfect partnership!”
