Creative Learning Alliance Seeks Fun Part of Future Science Center Building Name
With the Creative Learning Alliance (CLA) purchase of 300 S. Main being complete, and a lead donor establishing their name to the building, we now need a fun, descriptive name for the science center that will engage families now and for future generations. This critical project will ensure valuable hands-on, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) education and fun for the Joplin region. This is your chance to own a part of history with your name submission!
