Support the Bus | The Wonder Bus

Fuel the Wonder: Where Does Your Donation Go?

Your contributions bridge the gap, bringing hands-on STEAM exploration and sensory play to neighborhoods, schools, and communities across the region.

The Bus Build

We'll be custom-fitting our first mobile unit with shelving, storage, and built-in fixtures inside the bus. These features will securely hold play materials, maximize limited space, and create safe, durable, child-friendly learning stations that make hands-on exploration possible. Help us hit the road by Fall 2026!

Scholarships & School Visits

Enable The Wonder Bus to visit Title I schools and low-income neighborhoods. Donated funds help cover the costs for experiences for those who can't otherwise afford it.

Exhibit Evolution

Curiosity never stops moving. This fund supports the development and purchase of new screen-free exhibits that rotate monthly on The Wonder Bus.

Help Bring The Wonder Bus to Life

The Wonder Bus is more than a bus — it’s a dream to bring hands-on, play-based learning experiences directly into communities. By transforming a school bus into a mobile children’s museum, we can create a space where children explore, imagine, create, and learn through joyful discovery.

Your support helps turn this vision into reality and helps us continue creating new, exciting experiences for the children we serve.
