Miami Children’s Museum, known as one of the top Children’s Museums in the country, has received a prestigious grant from the Motorola Solutions Foundation, the charitable arm of Motorola Solutions Inc. Through the grant, Miami Children’s Museum will complete upgrades and renovations to the popular Safety Zone Gallery.
The Motorola Solutions Foundation awards grants each year to organizations such as Miami Children’s Museum that support and advance public safety programs and technology and engineering education initiatives. This year, Motorola Solutions Foundation grants will support programs that help more than 2 million students, teachers, first responders and community members around the globe. There is a specific focus on providing grants to programs that impact underrepresented populations, including females, minorities, people with disabilities, veterans and others.
“Our Safety Zone exhibit teaches valuable life lessons and is a popular attraction within the museum,” said Deborah Spiegelman, CEO and executive director of Miami Children’s Museum.
“The grant from the Motorola Solutions Foundation allows us to further enhance the experience and make it even more exciting,” she added.
