TAMPA, Fla., (WFLA) – Tampa’s Museum of Science and Industry is making a big announcement Wednesday afternoon regarding a multimillion-dollar project.
MOSI officials said they are sending a strong message that the museum is here to stay near the USF campus.
Mayor Jane Castor and other leaders are set to reveal a multi-million-dollar project at MOSI, crediting this project as the next big step in STEM learning.
According to the city and county leaders, this project will bring “blow-your-mind” educational fun to Tampa.
MOSI has called Tampa home since 1980, previously being located in Sulpher Springs where the museum was established in 1962.
The Museum is a beacon of science and innovation that allows for hands-on learning in different educational subjects, such as science, technology, engineering, and math.
According to leaders, STEM jobs are projected to grow by almost 11% by 2023, which they calculate is almost four times faster than jobs outside of STEM.
The Tampa and Temple Terrace Mayors, a Hillsborough County Commissioner, and MOSI’s CEO are expected at the presentation.
Details of this big project have not yet been revealed, but they said this investment will give students a learning destination in the Southeastern U.S. that stands out.
The reveal is Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. outside in Science Park.
