Mission Statement

Inspiring wonder, curiosity, and lifelong learning in our children and community through interactive play and discovery. We achieve this through the overlapping lenses of literacy, the arts, and STEM.

About This Cause

Kaleideum was formed in 2016 by the merger of The Children’s Museum of Winston-Salem and SciWorks, establishing a single organization with a new mission — “Inspiring wonder, curiosity, and lifelong learning in our children and community through interactive play and discovery.” In August 2021, Kaleideum broke ground on a new museum located in the heart of downtown Winston-Salem. The new museum — set to open in early 2024 — includes nearly 70,000 square feet of interior space and an expansive rooftop experience. Kaleideum delivers informal education in an innovative manner by focusing on fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, innovation skills, frustration tolerance, and the bravery to fail and try again. Like a kaleidoscope, Kaleideum encourages examining the world through different overlapping lenses thereby practicing and developing these critical skills that equip and empower visitors to be a part of our ever-changing world.
