Most families know about the Perot Museum of Nature and Science downtown — but did you know the museum also has a TECH Truck that travels all over DFW bringing free hands-on STEM activities directly into local communities?
And yes… it has its own event calendar.
The Perot Museum TECH Truck pops up at:
- libraries
- parks
- recreation centers
- community festivals
- schools

The truck is designed to bring science, technology, engineering, art, and math experiences to kids and families outside the museum walls.

The TECH Truck is a mobile STEAM learning program from the Perot Museum focused on:
