  • The power of an IDEA.

    Kansas City's center for Innovation, Discovery, Entrepreneurship and Arts is open. IDEA Space welcomes all 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.
