Tulsa s Discovery Lab will soon have a new home next to Gathering Place.
The museum that focuses on hands-on science learning for kids says construction on the brand new $50-million building is almost halfway complete. The Discovery Lab will be moving from a building with about 8,000 square feet to a new building that has 20,000 square feet of exhibit space alone. It s a lot of space for a lot of discovery.
“We ll be having earth science exhibits, a hydro area, a water area, high facilitation areas, a virtual reality area, said Director of Organizational Development Anne Mannell.
Mannell says their new building means they will be able to inspire thousands of more kids than they are currently able to.

These schools are planning free summer camps with stimulus money
Tulsa schools have a long shopping list of projects for when federal stimulus money makes it to Oklahoma.
Teachers and administrators are thinking of ways to put the pandemic-plagued 2020-2021 academic year firmly in the rear view mirror by making schools better than they were before.
“It’s so exciting,” said Ebony Johnson, chief learning officer for Tulsa Public Schools. “We’ve been through so much as a country, through the pandemic. And so to be able to get these dollars … it’s exciting because we get to dream.”
The $1.9 trillion stimulus bill signed into law by President Joe Biden last month sets aside more than $120 billion for education. The money, including $81 billion already released, will flow from Washington to the states and then be dispersed to districts.
