Strategic Education Partnerships The Works Museum already collaborates with the University of Minnesota and participates in state STEM events, signaling a ready pipeline for sponsored programs, grants, and joint curricula. Growth opportunities include packaging career connected learning experiences for schools and districts, licensing Career Connections and Shape Studio content, and co branded exhibits with corporate partners.

Live Event Revenue Build It Expo and other events show The Works Museum can host engaging experiences with potential for sponsorship. Sales angle: implement turnkey sponsorship packages, booth and workshop opportunities for local businesses, schools, and vendors, plus paid add ons to deepen engagement.

Education Program Expansion The emphasis on hands on engineering and career connected learning creates demand for scalable offerings. Opportunities to sell field trips, afterschool programs, in classroom kits, and expandable exhibits; explore licensing content to other museums or schools.

Sponsorship and Grants Partnerships with universities and nonprofits indicate openness to philanthropic support and joint ventures. Propose mission aligned sponsorships, donor programs, and grant eligible initiatives that expand access to STEM for diverse communities.

Digital and Outreach A modern digital stack including analytics and ecommerce suggests scope to grow online engagement and revenue streams. Potential to develop memberships, online experiences, and educator professional development platforms, as well as licensing access to digital curricula or interactive experiences.
