Tuesday, August 29, 2023 -- We at The Reading Public Museum would like to thank Highmark and Penn State for their generous donation of $50,000 towards one of our most popular exhibits, The Robot Zoo. This exhibit has been a hit within our community.
The Robot Zoo, and its 8 robotic creatures have been a highlight for RPM visitors of all ages this summer, many families coming back more than once! Hands-on components give families the opportunity to learn about scientific concepts and biological differences. Topics include echolocation in bats, compound eyes in flies, camouflage, and building their own robot using gears and joints. We’ve received comments such as “This was a big hit with our kids there today on a field trip!” and “Our granddaughters really enjoyed the Robot Zoo today, as well as the rest of the museum!” showing how much visitors truly enjoy and appreciate exhibits like these.
You are truly making a difference and The Museum values your support tremendously. We appreciate each and every one of our donors and we wouldn’t be where we are without your support. Your recent gift towards The Robot Zoo will help us to continue our goal to bring engaging and enlightening experiences to individuals, families, and schools.
