Thank you Washburn Next Generation Educators!

The Kansas Children’s Discovery Center hosted a great group of volunteers from Washburn University’s Next Generation Educators group this past week during the opening day of our Tiny Titans: Dinosaur Eggs and Babies exhibit on Feb. 24 to help create educational materials for children.

WNGE’s mission is to create a community of future educators who engage in collaboration, volunteer opportunities and learning from one another.

Kansas Children’s Discovery Center offers high-quality, interactive experiences to inspire a lifelong love of learning for every child. Volunteers support our mission by creating these memorable experiences for every family that walks through our doors. Volunteers engage children in fun, educational activities, pitch in at special events, maintain our outdoor space and keep exhibit areas ready for play. If your organization is interested in a fun volunteer day at the Kansas Children’s Discovery Center, call our volunteer coordinator at (785) 783-8300. We have indoor and outdoor projects for any size group.

Thank You, Washburn Next Generation Educators!
