HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎆 🎊 We are stoked for 2026, but can we just say — 2025 was our best year yet!

As we officially close the chapter on 2025, we’re looking back at the messy hands, the “aha!” moments and the incredible focus on kids’ faces at our pop-ups. From fort-building in Montclair and Maplewood to Maker Madness, clay building in Paterson and Newark’s Night Fest, thank you for playing and dreaming with us.

Behind the scenes, we’ve been just as busy trying to find a brick and mortar for MOMI! We spent the year meeting with community leaders and partners to move the needle from “idea” to “address.” 📍

The goal remains the same: building a world-class home for S.T.E.A.M. and play right here in our community. Thanks for being part of the journey! 🚀

May 2026 be fruitful for all of us. We love you and appreciate your support!
