Innovation Trail 2024 Kick-Off Weekend
Presented by Akamai
Friday, May 17th through Sunday, May 19th
Join us for our kick-off weekend as we celebrate our museum and science center partners! On the weekend of May 17th-19th, we're encouraging everyone interested in STEM and innovation to visit the amazing STEM museums and centers on the Trail.
The Innovation Trail is partnering with the Museum of Science, Draper Labs, the Broad Discovery Center, the Verizon Museum of Innovation in Communications, the MIT Museum, and the Russell Museum of Medical History and Innovation to bring you a weekend of innovation fun and education.
How do you get your own free limited edition Innovation Trail embroidered hat? Visit just two of these sites, snap some photos, and share them on social media. (We always love it when you tag @BostonInnoTrail!) Then show your post at the information desk at any of our participating sites (listed on the right.) Supplies are limited.
Grand prize: People who visit more than two of the museums, or create an exceptionally fun or creative post on social will be eligible to win our grand prize: a VIP ice cream tasting for you and a guest with Toscanini’s co-founder Gus Rancatore, where you'll learn how they develop new flavors — and taste some of the latest. Tag @BostonInnoTrail and email a link to anna@theinnovationtrail.org to submit.
Join us for our season kick-off tour on Saturday, May 18th at 10 AM, and you’ll automatically visit two of these museums. The tour starts at the Verizon Museum (not regularly open to the public.) We'll conclude at the MGH Museum of Medical History and Innovation. Register here and invite your family and friends!
