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.

Girls Navigate Their New School In PASSAGES. Entering Middle School can be a tough time for a girl. PASSAGES summer workshops are designed to give rising middle school girls the confidence to make the transition, by introducing them to their new school before classes begin. In PASSAGES, they’ll learn how to make new friends, navigate the halls, get organized, learn time management, talk about peer pressure and issues important to them, and hone their study skills. Sponsored by Girl Scouts of Gateway Council, PASSAGES will be held this summer at participating middle schools in northeast Florida.
