The power of an IDEA.
Kansas City's Center for Innovation, Discovery, Entrepreneurship and Arts welcomes metro K-12 students who are eager to build their skills in science, technology, engineering, arts and math. We created this center because we know every child has a big idea inside. Now they have the place and the people who can help bring them to life.
The Power of Community
Designed to serve students from diverse neighborhoods and varying socioeconomic backgrounds through year-round, hands-on educational experiences — including more than 91,400 Missouri and Kansas public school students who live within eight miles of IDEA Space.
The Power of Partnership
A 32,000 sq. ft. center for STEAM education, IDEA Space broadens and diversifies key workforce development pipelines: skilled trades, engineering, advanced manufacturing and computer science. That's good for the entire region! We partner with school districts, private schools and other educational organizations to provide opportunities to all K-12 students.
In the dynamic landscape of education, the integration of science, technology, engineering, arts and math (STEAM) has become a cornerstone for fostering holistic learning experiences. Eighth grade English students at The Barstow School recently completed an integrated learning project as they delved into Sandra Cisneros' "The House on Mango Street."
