The Wonder Years exhibit earns the Distinguished Service Award

The Wonder Years exhibit at the Science Museum of Minnesota, created in collaboration with the University of Minnesota, has been awarded the Distinguished Service Award by the Minnesota Association for the Education of Young Children (MnAEYC). Wonder Years is an 1,800 square foot exhibit that opened a year ago and contains the latest advances in early brain development research, including work by the Center for Early Education and Development (CEED), the Institute of Child Development (ICD), and Extension Children, Youth and Family Consortium (CYFC).

Thousands of museum visitors, researchers, policymakers, and caregivers of young children have benefited from the exhibit's displays, which provide an understanding of the importance of early childhood development.
"The goal of Wonder Years is to ensure that children ultimately benefit from the growing body of knowledge about the importance of early brain development," said Dr. Eric J. Jolly, president of the science museum.
