Carnegie Science Center

Today was a transformational day! Thanks to an unprecedented gift, the Science Center will be named the Daniel G. and Carole L. Kamin Science Center. Although our name is changing, our connection to the Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh will be a constant. This gift will pave the way for countless kids and adults to embark on their personal journey of discovery and curiosity here at the Science Center. ??

Their passion for inspiring young minds and giving back to the Pittsburgh community is truly extraordinary. Read more about the Kamins’ legacy in this TribLIVE article: https://bit.ly/3ZndvP4
