Mission Statement
The Mission of the Wayne County Children's S.T.E.A.M. Playlab is to provide family engagement, inspiration, foster creativity and grow the love of learning for children of all ages and abilities.
About This Cause
At the Playlab, we believe that a vital part of a child's growth is play and imagination. We are dedicated to providing inspiration, connection and engagement all while learning, having fun and promoting a healthy development of ALL children that connects them to Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics as well as Health & Wellness and Global Cultures. The Playlab will provide 8-10 exhibit rooms for families to engage, explore and learn together. The Playlab will fill a much needed void in our community. While a number of historical, play-based, cultural, and nature-based attractions exists in our community, there is no interactive, multidisciplinary, educational environments targeted specifically at very young and school age children where they can pretend, create, and learn Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics, including Health and Wellness and Culture based in their play. With a 30,000 facility, we will create educational spaces with exhibits, a classroom for continued education, youth development programs where kids will be mentored through a mentoring program, summer and holiday camps, Adults-only hands on learning programs and an extensive list of other STEAM classes and programs. To reach specific curriculum goals, the Playlab will develop educational programming that capitalize themed exhibit areas. Programming will be developed in consultation with local and regional educators and will meet Ohio Standards for curriculum. Field trip guides ad collateral materials will be available for teachers who with to bring their students to the Playlab to complement what they are learning in the classroom. This will truly be an extension of the classroom.
