ELI WHITNEY

The Eli Whitney Museum and Workshop is an experimental learning workshop for students, teachers, and families. We collect, interpret, and teach experiments that are the roots of design and invention... We are a Workshop: we build things. We are a Museum: we collect things. We collect essential experiments. We also collect the materials that experiments require. We collect tools and clever ways of building. We collect curious and gifted apprentices who can help experimenters get started... It is of utmost importance that we provide a safe and affirming environment for all. We strive to create a place where mistakes can present opportunities for perseverance, and where misteps can lead to cognitive leaps.
