The Whirl: NC Children’s Museum Grand Opening Celebration

The team behind Kidzu Children’s Museum has a new name — and a new home. The organization unveiled its new name, the North Carolina Children’s Museum, at the grand opening celebration of its new maker space at Boxyard RTP on Apr. 11. Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, guests unleashed their inner makers and built confidence in STEAM through hands-on activities, including 3D printing, robotics and more.
