For decades, Frost Science has pioneered education programs that promote excellence and equity in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) for Miami’s diverse community, reaching students from early childhood through high school.
The Knight Learning Center is funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, committed to informed and engaged communities. Located in the museum’s North Wing, the Knight Learning Center serves as a home base for these education programs, as well as providing local schools, families and community groups an exciting new learning resource and event space. The center is equipped for enhanced educational experiences and includes a suite of four classrooms.
The educational programs at the Knight Learning Center focus on key areas including youth development, family engagement, professional development, innovative technologies and learning research. The museum collaborates with researchers to hone methods in reaching underserved groups, and shares its methods with others nationwide, including museums, school leaders and future and practicing teachers.
