| COSI’s Education Philosophy Statement |
| COSI believes that learning happens best through interaction between visitors, members of our team, and the environment. These interactions create emotional connections that inspire visitors to construct ideas about the world around them and search for explanations about what they see and experience. COSI’s programs are not only hands-on, but minds-on, requiring visitors to analyze, question, search for answers, and collaborate. It is through this kind of inquiry that children and adults alike are able to relate their current knowledge to new information, thus building real understandings. We believe that we can help our visitors to experience an “A-HA!” moment that will leave them curious and enthusiastic to learn. |
