The Lafayette-based WOW! Children's Museum was selected as one of 20 children's museums nationwide to participate in Nurturing Numeracy Skills and Math Literacy in Children's Museums, a program created through a partnership between the Association of Children's Museums and the Simons Foundation. The museum learned of its acceptance in November 2024. Current additions include a teller station in the bank exhibit where children can sort play money, and a bank vault feature with lockboxes that children unlock by solving math problems to win small prizes. The museum plans to expand math learning opportunities across additional programs and exhibits in 2026. WOW! is one of only two Colorado children's museums in the program, alongside Buell Children's Museum in Pueblo.

The WOW! Children's Museum in Lafayette hosted its seventh annual Girls in Science event to inspire young girls to pursue careers in STEM fields. The initiative addresses a concerning trend: while interest in science and math is evenly split among third graders, by eighth grade significantly fewer girls continue pursuing these subjects. The event targeted girls ages 5-11, featuring interactive booths on herpetology, solar panels, aerospace, and medicine. Female professionals demonstrated their work, allowing children to see women actively engaged in science careers. Anna Talley, director of operations, emphasized the program's core message: If you feel that fire now, keep it lit, keep pursuing science fields.
