Things To Know
Location
Science Museum of Virginia
The Science Museum of Virginia is located in Richmond, Virginia, with convenient access to I-95 and I-64. Established in 1977, it is an agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia with a mission to inspire all Virginians to enrich their lives through science. The museum is housed in the former Broad Street Station, built in 1917.
The museum encompasses 223,000 square feet, lending itself to a campus style event for the summit. With this in mind, it will be important that you come prepared with comfortable shoes as there will be some distance between the main area and workshop locations.
