The Dupage Childrens museum is hoping to entice youngsters into learning about math using motion and art. Children can use tesselation, patterns in music, quilting, and geometric patterns to bring math to life. Putting multiple concepts together will hopefully increase interest in math and keep children engaged in fun and innovative concepts.

New math exhibit at local Children’s Museum

Children’s museum runs new exhibit

The children’s museum will run this exhibit all year long during normal operating hours. Young children can take advantage of this unique program from 9-4 weekdays, Saturdays until 5, and Sundays 12-5. Multi-concept learning in a paced environment could be key to engaging young students’interest and encouraging success in the classroom.

The museum is all about incorporating math and science and art principles together. They’re not isolated concepts, so this is a great way to explore how they fit together,” said Katie Edinger, Senior Public Programs Manager at the DuPage Children’s Museum.

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
