Everyone give it up for our next Employee of the Month:
Basque, our leopard gecko! 🦎✨

As our Director of Relaxation & Wellness, Basque leads by example, reminding staff and guests alike that proper rest, regular snacks, and finding the perfect warm spot are all essential parts of a healthy lifestyle!

Native to the dry grasslands and deserts of Asia, leopard geckos are known for their spotted patterns, expressive faces, and ability to store fat in their tails. Basque specializes in mealworm quality control, heat lamp testing, and maintaining a calm presence throughout the workplace.

She’s generously compensated with her favorite snacks, cozy hiding spots, and plenty of opportunities to bask while on the clock.

Let’s hear it for Basque and her outstanding service! 👏💙

One last 21st century stop before Galileo heads home… ☕️✨

After trying today’s coffee, he is reconsidering returning to the 1600s. Huge thanks to Serda's Coffee Co. Mobile for fueling our favorite scientist!

It’s International Museum Day and we’re celebrating the best way we know how… by nerding out. 🤓✨

We may not be a traditional museum, but hands-on exploration, curiosity, and a little chaos are kind of our thing. Our mission is to encourage excellence in STEM education and make the excitement of scientific discovery accessible across the Gulf Region.

To our amazing community and supporters, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of our journey and making what we do possible. 💙
