Good news: 44% of Clark County 3rd graders are now reading proficiently – up from 32% five years ago. But that still means more than half of our kids are behind. We must do better. Literacy matters, and your role as a parent matters most. ✍️ Sign the Family Literacy Pledge today and commit to daily reading with your child: ReadWithMeNV.com.

We’re deeply grateful for the incredible leadership and impact of Julie A. Murray and Punam Mathur — two changemakers who inspire everything we do at DISCOVERY. Their dedication to children and community mirrors our mission to spark curiosity and empower every child to reach their full potential. 💫
Changemakers. One of the many amazing words used to describe Punam Mathur and Julie A. Murray, this year’s Great Friend to Kids Award honorees at the 25th Anniversary of Magic for DISCOVERY. These two amazing women have changed the landscape of opportunity for children in Nevada. The investment of generous sponsors and supporters of the DISCOVERY Children's Museum allows CEO Melissa Kaiser and her team to welcome more than 250,000 children and families, with more than 25% of families visiting through their Museums for All Access programs. Since 1990, DISCOVERY has welcomed millions of children and families through their doors igniting the excitement in children to do remarkable things. 💖

On Sunday, October 12th, we're hosting our annual Girl Powered Event, a morning dedicated to inspiring young girls to explore the world of STEM. From hearing directly from accomplished Women in STEM leaders to engaging in hands-on STEM activities—robotics, coding, AI exploration, 3D printing, and more—this event is designed to spark curiosity and redefine what the future of STEM looks like. We’re proud to partner with organizations like the Gene Haas Foundation and Google to make this event possible. Together, we’re breaking barriers and building pathways for tomorrow’s leaders, thinkers, and problem-solvers.
