The Cade Museum brings programs and events to our community to inspire creative thinking, future inventors and early entrepreneurs. We connect those who would like to invent with those who are already well on their way. We work to increase students' knowledge of and love for STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) in a way that they can apply to their own passions for creating, inventing and experimenting.
