Help transform lives through the power of science
At Griffin MSI, you can design your own tsunami waves, step inside the only German submarine in the United States, and watch as baby chicks hatch each and every day. Through award-winning exhibits, hands-on experiences and engaging education programs, we are inspiring future scientists and innovators. As a non-profit organization, we rely on the support of members, donors and partners to continue bringing the very best in science, education and fun to the people of Chicago and beyond.
