inspireU will be a hands-on children’s discovery center with a variety of interactive exhibits designed to spark high-quality, imaginative play. Our goal is to provide a space for families to play and learn together. inspireU will also help visitors learn about the ingredients to make a healthy child, healthy family, and healthy community. Our exhibits and programs will highlight our five areas of health focus: movement, nutrition, connectedness, mindfulness, and curiosity. The museum will be rooted in our local community with many nods to St. Joseph and our surrounding area. You can see some of the exhibit designs here.
