Lo-fi encourages, excites & promotes the enjoyment of human-powered activities. Lo-fi believes that human-powered activities should be physically, emotionally, and mentally rewarding and, most importantly, they should be fun. We are not alone in our belief that over time, human-powered activities such as riding a bicycle, walking, or jumping around on a pogo stick can make people happier, healthier, and strengthen ties within our communities. By engaging in the fun of getting up, getting out, and getting active, we can inspire even more people to follow suit. This not only improves our lives, but can radically change the world around us

Our mission is to nurture generations of passionate learners, critical thinkers and active citizens through Design, Make, Play — an approach to learning that encourages hands-on experimentation, critical thinking, and iterative problem-solving. Through Design, Make, Play, NYSCI aspires to create a distinctive set of resources that have a measurable and scalable impact on how people learn. The museum anchors and inspires all the work we do, fostering public engagement in STEM, and supporting our youth development program, education offerings and research. We have developed innovative products to extend this learning far beyond our walls, and our extensive network of partnerships deepens and broadens our impact, locally and around the world.

The Rabbit hOle is building a major new cultural institution in Kansas City: a visionary center for the children’s book, national in scope, that will preserve, advance, and transmit the art and history of children’s literature to children, parents, and educators for generations to come. It will be the first of its kind in the United States and will position Kansas City as the new epicenter of the children’s book world. Our mission is to create a living culture around literature that will nourish, empower, and inspire the reading lives of children. To this end, The Rabbit hOle will be home to the world’s first Explor-a-Storium, a new museum experience where children’s books come to life and visitors become explorers in a multi-sensory narrative landscape filled with radically immersive, discoverable environments. The Explor-a-Storium will feature an ever-evolving landscape of permanent and temporary exhibits celebrating both classic and contemporary works of children’s literature. In keeping with our business models (including the City Museum in St. Louis and Meow Wolf in Santa Fe), The Rabbit hOle will create all of its own exhibits in-house in a fabrication studio employing more than two dozen artists, designers, and fabricators. This will enable us to create a fresh, ever-evolving experience within the Explor-a-Storium and deliver a constant flow of new exhibits that will inspire visitors to return to the museum again and again. In conjunction with the Explor-a-Storium, The Rabbit hOle will house a printshop and bindery, a full-service bookstore, story and writing labs, a resource library, and a theater space, enabling an abundance of dynamic programming and partnership opportunities that will allow us to reach children and adults of all backgrounds, both inside The Rabbit hOle and beyond.
