A Riverhead Landmark
Proudly located in Riverhead, we ignite kids' curiosity through the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) curriculum. We design programs for various age groups to help prepare them for 21st-century careers.

The Town of Riverhead has scheduled a public hearing on May 20th at 6:00 PM, to discuss taking our future building away (by way of eminent domain). Everyone is encouraged to speak up and attend. Address: Riverhead Town Hall, located at 4 West Second Street, Riverhead, NY 11901
Phase l - Rendering of view from Main Street next to Town Square
Location, location, location
We presently operate from our pop-up location in the Tanger Outlet Mall in Riverhead. But we can’t wait to move into our own building located on 111 East Main Street in downtown Riverhead, next to Town Square.
We have big plans to make downtown Riverhead an even better destination, offering a real museum center experience within 24,000 square feet, with world-class exhibitions for kids and their parents, plus a real planetarium on top.
A former fashion retail store will be refashioned into an amazing exhibition space with room for a coffee shop, a store, classrooms, a huge glass-covered rooftop with an observation deck overlooking the Peconic River and Town Square, bio-gardens, event space, and a world-class planetarium.
Science runs on support
Funding has been secured through grants from New York State (thru Empire State Development) and Suffolk County.
[ We are waiting for approvals, permits, and support from the Town of Riverhead.]
We can’t do this without the support of the community and like-minded people like you, who believe in science and our kids’ futures. There are many ways to help, like joining a committee or becoming a sponsor. But whatever it is, it takes a village, or in this case, a town.
Phase ll - Rendering of new rooftop amenities: outdoor observation deck and exhibition space, bioretention gardens, and planetarium.
Support our Mission:
Today's Students - Tomorrow's Innovators
Rising Girls
Girls interest in STEM begins to decline as early as the 4th grade. We are shifting the paradigm.
Equal Access
Minorities are the fastest growing population and the most underrepresented in the fastest growing job sector (STEM). We are dedicated to bridging the gap.
Homeless Shelter Outreach
Children residing in homeless shelters often miss out on opportunities to participate in STEAM programming. We are determined to provide STEAM education for those in need.
EDUCATION THAT LASTS A LIFETIME
