Our vision is as important as ever – young people have the inspiration and skills to design the solutions needed to address our world’s problems – now and in the future. Due to the impact of COVID-19, we have re-imagined the how, what, where and when of hands-on educational programming. It is in that spirit of determination that we reach out to you today.

As of Friday, November 20th, we have closed our doors per Milwaukee Public Health Order 4.2. We were so sad to have to pull the open signs off our front lawn after being successfully open since July 22nd. We remain optimistic that this closure will be short, and that our great City will thrive in 2021.

Since the middle of March, Discovery World has been challenged like never before. We have already made difficult adjustments to protect our programs and ensure that we can continue to inspire children, families and school partners – at a time when many need our educational resources the most. This work would not have been possible without the support and generosity of our community of donors, members and educational partners like you.

The future of Discovery World needs you. These are extraordinary times. To address the impact of the global pandemic and ensure that Discovery World has the financial resources to protect our programming and emerge even stronger, we are announcing the public phase of our Discovery World Annual Giving Initiative.

The importance of Discovery World is evident. You may have seen the face of a young family member light up with the spark of wonder while exploring one of our exhibits. Or, you may have seen student’s hands spring into the air with questions in one of our learning labs or school-based partnership programs. Further, you may have seen the grit and determination of a child or grandchild during a hands-on workshop.

We need your help to ensure that your experience with Discovery World will be protected and strengthened for future generations. Please consider a special financial gift and help build a strong future for Discovery World.

With your support and the support of others like you, the Discovery World Annual Giving Initiative will make sure that we don’t lose any ground in our vital work – and that we can continue to build on our legacy to inspire the next generation of engineers, designers, scientists, innovators, community leaders and makers.
