We are thrilled to announce that we are official Sponsors of La Nube STEAM Children's Museum which is set to open to the public on August 10th, 2024.
At Oscar E. Perez, M.D., P.A., Adult & Adolescent Psychiatry, we believe in access to fun and learning for children everywhere and what better way to start than with our beautiful city of El Paso, TX. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our community who has trusted us throughout the decades.
"Located in the vibrant heart of Downtown El Paso, Texas, La Nube is a unique hybrid institution, merging the educational aspects of a science center and children’s museum experiences. Through STEAM-focused exhibits and immersive programs, we spark curiosity and inspire imagination in learners of all ages and abilities. La Nube is a space where imagination takes shape.
La Nube is a private-public partnership of El Paso Community Foundation, the City of El Paso and other community stakeholders. Through community involvement and investment, the vision for the project evolved into a bilingual, immersive, and interactive learning center for families and people of all ages.
The development of La Nube’s name, architecture, and learning zones was directly influenced by input and experiences from our community. During the master planning process, a recurring theme was Blue Sky Thinking. The sky is limitless, undefined by borders; and the clouds can take any shape, with infinite possibilities. The sky connects us all, regardless of culture, language, age, or ability.
La Nube — Spanish for ‘the cloud’ — is the where imagination takes shape. The international architecture firm Snøhetta unveiled a four-story, rippling, cloud-like design to stand out in the Downtown El Paso skyline and spark curiosity about the possibilities within.
During the planning process parents, educators, therapists, and other members of the community shared their valuable experiences and expertise on the culture and values of El Paso and critical components of child development. Exhibit design firm Gyroscope translated their input into innovative and engaging learning experiences that allow guests of all ages and abilities to explore and learn through imagination and experimentation.
At La Nube, we believe curiosity and wonder should be fostered throughout life. Therefore, there are no instructions and no wrong way to interact with the installations and learning zones. Mistakes and failure are an essential part of discovery and learning." (https://la-nube.org/)
