Eli Whitney Museum

An experimental learning workshop for students, teachers, and families. We collect, interpret, and teach experiments that are the roots of design and invention. Visit us in Hamden! Each summer, the Workshop devotes itself to a series of week long day camp workshops for young experimenters ages 6 and up. 37 workshops to choose from, for a summer of inquisitive fun. Essential Experiments are lessons you are much more likely to find in a workshop or a studio than in a classroom. They prepare young minds for a deep understanding of ideas encountered in the classroom and in the world. Check us out today to see all we have to offer!
