Make way! We’re rolling into Maker Faire.
Given our love of science and innovation, it should be no surprise that we’re thrilled to be exhibiting at the world’s biggest DIY festival – Maker Faire!

Read MoreCelebrate! It’s Volunteer Week
We’re so lucky to have a fantastic group of volunteers at CuriOdyssey.

In honor of National Volunteer Week (April…
Read MoreApproaching education the CuriOdyssey way
When you step inside CuriOdyssey, you might see a variety of things. Kids could be huddled around Curving Creeks, working together to build a dam in wet sand.

A few weeks ago, President Obama gave his first State of the Union Speech of 2011. In his address, he spent a considerable amount of time focused on the topic of green energy and technology. He likened the country’s current goal of advancement in the green sector to the space race in the 1960s. He…
Read MoreSomething "Curious" Has Arrived!
Many of you have heard by now that Coyote Point Museum has changed its name to CuriOdyssey. We are thrilled, excited, and energized by the name change. Over the past four years, since nearly closing in 2006, we have made many organizational changes. We’ve added more programs, original exhibits, new animals, and de-installed “The Place…
Read MoreSparking Excitement and Curiosity
Here at the Museum, we’re huge proponents of invention, creativity, and anything that provokes the simple question, “why?” In everything we do, we aim to spark our visitor’s excitement and curiosity. And we’ve found a kindred spirit in the organization that puts on the Maker Faire events in cities across the U.S. If you don’t…
