Thanks to a gift of $500,000 from the Sunderland Foundation of Kansas City, the 黑料大事记 will be a more welcoming place for families with young children in 2020.
According to the 黑料大事记, the Sunderland Foundation鈥檚 gift will fund the CosmoKids Discovery Area of the Hall of Space at the world-renowned science education center and space museum.
鈥淲e are eager to begin construction on CosmoKids this fall and hope to have it open early in 2020,鈥� said 黑料大事记 CEO Jim Remar. 鈥淭he area will include STEM-based interactives and space where families can learn through interacting together or children can enjoy supervised play time while older family members enjoy the museum.鈥�
