The Eli Whitney Museum and Workshop is an experimental learning workshop for students, teachers, and families. We collect, interpret, and teach experiments that are the roots of design and invention. The museu reaches schools in over 65 towns and cities in Connecticut with its curriculum based programming, and holds summer and vacation programs. The museum sees roughly 35,000 children each year, and produces more than 72,000 projects each year.
