Problem-Solving At Core Of New DuPage Children's Museum Exhibit

NAPERVILLE, IL — DuPage Children's Museum is set to launch a new traveling exhibit with a diverse cast of characters who help kids immerse themselves in science, math and art via problem-solving. "The Questioneers: Read. Question. Think. PLAY!" will debut Oct. 1.

In the interactive exhibit, kids can explore the world of writer Andrea Beaty's characters, Iggy Peck, Architect, Sofia Valdez, Future Prez, Rosie Revere, Engineer, and Ada Twist, Scientist. In the make-believe classroom setting, children will encounter questions about architecture, leadership engineering and science with the help of each character.

As the characters run into challenges and face failed experiments, kids will learn more about failure, determination and courage, a news release explained.

“Between the stories and the illustrations, each book is rich with content and positive messaging,” Andrea Wiles, DuPage Children's Museum CEO, said in the news release.

Wiles added, “This exhibition demonstrates our commitment to inclusion while delivering exceptional, innovative Arts and STEM experiences for our guests. The experiences and related programs support the social emotional and cognitive development of learners by building the confidence, skills, and engagement of parents and caregivers.”

Beaty, a Naperville resident, said, “I have visited DuPage Children’s Museum with my family for almost 30 years. I am thrilled knowing that 'The Questioneers' will come to life in this exhibit and inspire kids, young and young at heart, to share their curiosity and passion with others!"
