Support the MOST

Dear Supporter,

Every day at the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology, a child gets excited about learning science and engineering by hearing the dinosaurs roar in Dino Zone, harvesting crops in GROW, or building a tower of foam building blocks in BUILD.

This past year, more than 100,000 children, families, and school groups walked through our doors. They didn’t just see exhibits—they experimented with our science educators, immersed themselves in a planetarium show, and enjoyed the fun of hands-on exhibits. They experienced our mission in action through science learning that ignites curiosity, encourages discovery, and inspires investigation.

We believe every child deserves the important opportunity that comes from contextualized learning through play and exploration. But we can’t do it without your donations.

Your support ensures that:

• Exhibits stay interactive, engaging, and up to date with current science and technology
• STEM education programs for P-12 align with New York state science standards, remain free for many students, and include snacks, meals, and even transportation for some programs and events
• Improvements can continue to be made to the 115-year-old iconic Armory building we call home

As we look ahead to another year of “discovering, learning & playing” for the next generation of problem-solvers, we invite you to be part of this important part of their education. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today.

Thank you for believing in the power of hands-on science education,

Lauren Kochian
MOST President
