MMSA has outgrown its old office spaces and does not have access to the space or technologies needed to meet the needs of our educator partners across the country. Our staff and partners need access to a formative space that allows for productive collaboration both in-person and virtually. At the same time, rural educators are no longer able to travel over long distances – due to ever decreasing school budgets and professional development funding – to participate in professional learning experiences like they did 10-20 years ago.

We have a vision to design an interactive virtual learning center that can provide a highly dynamic and collaborative professional learning experience for educators that can be accessed no matter where they live!

We are moving to a newly renovated historically preserved building on Augusta’s waterfront at 343 Water Street. We look forward to playing a key role in the Augusta revitalizing initiatives that are making this Kennebec Waterfront a vibrant downtown community.

We envision a learning space where educators, youth leaders, and researchers come together to define the future of STEM education.
