“Innovation is like beauty — you don’t just say someone is beautiful for their exterior, they’re also beautiful because of their mind,” architect Renzo Piano said in a statement. “The same sentiment will apply to The Center. It’s not about being a beautiful building; the beauty is in what will be created and invented inside the building.”
At The Center, Wonder Works empowers kids, tweens, and teens to explore their curiosity, embrace experimentation, and express themselves creatively. By offering a range of hands-on experiences, Wonder Works nurtures identity, confidence, and adaptability, skills that will prepare young people to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
The next generation faces unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Developing creative confidence is no longer a luxury, it’s essential. Wonder Works gives children the space, tools, and mentorship to invent, imagine, and collaborate, building lifelong creative habits that support problem-solving, resilience, and self-expression.
