KID Museum

KID Museum is a new kind of museum serving children and families in the Washington, D.C. area. KID Museum offers unique, interactive experiences for elementary and middle school-aged children that integrate hands-on science, technology, engineering, art and math learning with an exploration of world cultures and global citizenship.

KID Museum’s sites at 3 Bethesda Metro Center and  Davis Library in Bethesda, Maryland offer the community exciting programs and workshops. We are focused on empowering the next generation to invent the future with imagination, resourcefulness, and compassion.

KID Museum offers adults (18+) and High School students opportunities to volunteer and support bringing our innovative programs to the community.  

Adult volunteers support KID Museum student programs (Monday through Friday) by assisting the education team with activity set up and break down and supporting students (elementary-middle) during their field trips.
