Neurodivergent youth ages 8-12 and their families are invited to join us for a free sensory-friendly morning at MuseumLab! Try out hands-on engineering and design activities designed with neurodivergent learners in mind and explore interactive museum exhibits before they open to the general public.
Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh is part of a research project funded by the National Science Foundation (DRL 2313850) to create activities that are accessible to neurodivergent learners, based on input from youth. Families who test out activities and share their feedback with researchers via a survey and interview will receive 2 family passes, each good for free admission to Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh and MuseumLab for up to 5 people, and a free gift bag. To participate in this study, please complete our consent form in advance. Please note, we have a limited number of open slots available for this opportunity, which will be granted on a first come, first served basis. Families are welcome to attend the event whether or not they choose to participate in the survey and interview portion of the program.
