Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum Details
The Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum (AAHOM) opened in 1982 in an historic firehouse in downtown Ann Arbor and quickly became the cornerstone of informal science education in the community. This was achieved by working with scientists, artists, designers, engineers, and innovators who transferred their extraordinary talents and knowledge into the creation of simple, effective science exhibits that can be understood by children, their families, and audiences of all ages. Following several expansions, AAHOM now occupies 40,000 square feet, with 20,000 devoted to exhibit space for 250+ interactive exhibits designed to promote science discovery and literacy. Over 6 million visitors have visited AAHOM since it first opened its doors, making it one of the most popular science centers in the State of Michigan.The mission of the AAHOM is to create moments of discovery that inspire curiosity, exploration, and respect for STEM, and the natural world . Our vision is a world where curiosity today leads to more purposeful lives tomorrow. Thanks to a steadfast belief in the power of STEaM when placed in the hands of pre-K through 8th Graders, we enjoy one of the highest annual attendance rates at a science center in Michigan: reaching nearly 400,000 each year. AAHOM education programs align with State of Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations (GLCE) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Our exhibits have been displayed in libraries, community centers and shopping malls throughout the state.AAHOM's regional and national reputation was built on its visionary planning and implementation of interactive STEaM-based exhibits; groundbreaking educational programs delivered to 47 counties throughout the state, 47 states across the country, and numerous countries around the world; and an exceptional ability to establish and maintain strong collaborative bonds with public and private organizations from a variety of disciplines.
