Welcome

Help us build Buildzeum!

Buildzeum will help kids learn about design, engineering, and construction by giving them a place for truly creative play. Inside this living museum, kids will work with real architects and engineers, they will get to build towers with foam blocks, operate a massive indoor crane, learn about erosion and earthquakes, dig in the dirt, model 3-d structures, and more. And while Buildzeum will teach kids the importance of science, math, and creative play, it is ultimately about building up the kids themselves—showing them that they can create real things to make the world a better place.

Please join the community to help make Buildzeum a reality.
