A New World Where Confident Kids Grow
The Technology & Science Center at Thanksgiving Point
Opening soon — a first-of-its-kind destination where confidence is built through exploration, discovery, and real-world technology.
The Technology & Science Center at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah is designed for kids who want to try, build, experiment, and discover their capabilities. Here, technology isn’t abstract or intimidating — it’s hands-on and empowering.
When kids experience technology early in life and they realize they can shape it — something shifts. They raise their hands. They ask better questions. They take intellectual risks. This is where kids don’t just learn about STEM, they see themselves as growing it in as problem-solvers and leaders.
The Technology & Science Center was created with one core belief: When kids build confidence in STEM, new possibilities follow.
Powered by Utah’s Leading Industries
Utah is home to some of the most innovative companies in the world — and kids deserve access to the same tools and technologies that power these industries.
Inside the Technology & Science Center, kids will explore hands-on experiences inspired by real technologies used in:
- Energy – from sustainable systems to next-generation power solutions
- Aerospace – understanding flight, space, materials, and engineering
- Fintech – how money, security, data, and digital systems really work
- Biotech – the science and technology behind health, biology, and innovation
These are not exhibits about the past. They are experiences rooted in technology that is changing these industries right now.
What Kids Will Experience
AI Labs–Kids don’t just hear about artificial intelligence — they use it. Through guided, age-appropriate experiences, they’ll explore how AI learns, how humans interact with it, and how it’s already changing the world.
Computer Coding Labs–From first lines of code to creative problem-solving challenges, kids build logical thinking, persistence, and pride as they make technology respond to their ideas.
Giant LED Immersive Experience–A massive, jaw-dropping LED environment powered by COSM technology surrounds kids with data, visuals, motion, and storytelling — turning complex systems into experiences they can see, feel, and understand.
This isn’t a screen. It’s a world.
60 Tech Labs Every Week–With 60 live, rotating tech labs each week, there’s always something new to try. Kids can drop in, dive deep, come back again, and grow their skills over time.
Learning here isn’t one-and-done. It’s ongoing, active, and fun.
More Than a STEM Center
This isn’t just a place to visit. It’s a place to grow into. A place where kids discover:
- “I can figure this out.”
- “I like solving hard problems.”
- “I belong here.”
Those beliefs last far longer than any single exhibit.
And at Thanksgiving Point, any child whose parents are in WIC/SNAP benefits can attend the new Tech & Science Center for free. The focus of our mission is to raise the opportunities for all of Utah’s kids.
Built With Parents in Mind
Parents want more than enrichment — they want experiences that help their kids grow into capable, confident people.
The Technology & Science Center is designed to support what parents care about most:
- Confidence through competence — kids gain real skills by doing, not watching
- Relevance — experiences connected to today’s careers and industries, not outdated science demos
- Resilience — kids are encouraged to stretch, fail safely, and try again
- Repeat value — with rotating labs and evolving technology, every visit feels new
These are the skills parents hope their kids carry into school, future careers, and life.
Be Part of Building Our Kids Future
The Technology & Science Center is an ambitious vision — and it’s only possible through partnership. We’re inviting corporate partners, foundations, and individual donors to help bring this center to life for kids across our community.
Partner support helps:
