Va. Science Museum to have presence in Northern Virginia

Fiscal Year 2020 Budget for Virginia included $2.3 million to initiate the detailed design of a regional science center in Northern Virginia. Support at the local, regional and state level helped the project reach this milestone, according to Dorothy Ready of the Children’s Science Center in Fairfax.

Developed in partnership with the Fairfax-based Children’s Science Center, the new regional science center will be an extension of the Science Museum of Virginia and will benefit from shared resources and expertise from the Museum’s four decades of delivering inspiring informal science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning experiences at its locations in Richmond and Danville, Ready said in a news release.
