All Together: A Campaign for Carnegie Museums
Support the Future of Discovery
Kamin Science Center is the region’s largest provider of informal STEM learning, connecting people and science while igniting curiosity that endures for a lifetime. Through immersive exhibits, educational programming, and hands-on experiences, the Science Center educates, inspires, and entertains more than 500,000 visitors each year.
As Pittsburgh’s most visited museum and one of the nation’s leading science centers, Kamin Science Center is transforming the future of science learning and community engagement.
Our Vision
We are reimagining Kamin Science Center through innovative exhibitions and programs that are culturally responsive, community-centered, and deeply connected to the future of our region. Through strategic investments in experiences, public spaces, sustainability, and neighborhood connectivity, the Science Center will continue to serve as a catalyst for inspiration, economic development, and lifelong learning.
Campaign Priorities
Transforming Our Campus
Kamin Science Center is leading a bold transformation of Pittsburgh’s North Side riverfront and campus. Reimagined public spaces, expanded green areas, enhanced neighborhood connectivity, and the revitalization of the historic USS Requin (SS 481) submarine will create vibrant destinations for visitors, residents, cyclists, boaters, and learners alike.
Future investments include:
-
A revitalized riverfront eco-park
-
Outdoor science engagement spaces
-
Renewable energy initiatives, including a photovoltaic canopy
-
Expanded pedestrian and community gathering spaces
Catalyzing New Museum Experiences
Dynamic new exhibitions and experiences will inspire learners of all ages while positioning Kamin Science Center at the forefront of informal science education.
Upcoming initiatives include:
-
Science of Speed — a high-energy racing experience exploring the connection between motorsports and science
-
Building Futures — an interactive exhibition focused on careers in the skilled trades
-
A new immersive technology installation as part of the reimagined Peirce Atrium
-
A refreshed Little Learners Clubhouse to encourage early childhood discovery
