On the road this season

Mobile Museum & STEM Kits

A traveling exhibit and checkout STEM kits that bring hands-on career exposure to schools, libraries, and community events across Bay and Arenac counties. No field-trip bus required.

The traveling experience

What it is

The mobile museum brings hands-on STEM career exhibits to schools, libraries, and community events across Bay and Arenac counties, so a class that cannot load a bus still gets the experience. Alongside it, STEM kits can be borrowed and used in a classroom or at home.

Exhibit lineups, availability, and the current kit catalog come from Bay-Arenac ISD. They are published here as the District provides them, and each one is tagged by career cluster and grade band so it turns up in search alongside everything else on the hub. To ask what is available right now, call the number below.

Hands-on at home or in class

STEM kits you can check out

Checkout kits pair equipment with lesson cards and a careers insert, so the activity connects to the people who do that work for a living. Educators borrow them for a unit; families can borrow them too.

The kit catalog is published here once Bay-Arenac ISD confirms the current lineup. Call (989) 686-4410 to ask what is on the shelf and how long you can keep it.
