Sacramento’s 114-year-old historic power station is set to welcome the Museum of Science and Curiosity (MOSAC), a highly anticipated dynamic epicenter for science, technology, engineering, art and math (STEAM) education opening in late 2021. Become the first to experience MOSAC and join the quest to inspire more students to enter STEAM careers.
MOSAC is set to bring K-12 schools, colleges, universities, libraries, museums and other community resources together to inspire students to enter STEAM careers. As a member, you’ll be among the first to experience MOSAC’s new exhibits, programs, star shows and films.
Members will also receive discounts on summer camps and special programs that are set to occur before MOSAC officially opens. Early members will also have access to exclusive member sneak peek events before MOSAC opens to the public after about three years of construction.
To learn more, follow the MOSAC’s construction progress and discover ways to help, sign up for their free newsletter.
