Miniature Railroad & Village® celebrates 100 years
Fans of our beloved train layout now have the opportunity to support its renovation and future upkeep through the 100th Anniversary Campaign crowdfunding effort. Contributions will enable us to refresh the gallery with new carpeting, fresh paint, updated signage, a new entrance video, and LED lighting. Once the project is complete, visitors will enjoy motion-activated digital text panels and the online digitization and publication of the Miniature Railroad’s expansive 100-year-old archive, featuring photos and letters from creator Charles Bowdish. Learn more about the crowdfunding campaign. 
2020 Carnegie Science Award winners announced
Each year, Carnegie Science Center celebrates some of the Pittsburgh region’s most inspiring science and technology innovators with the Carnegie Science Awards. The 2020 Carnegie Science Award winners announced in March were selected by a committee of peers as the most deserving scientists, technologists, entrepreneurs, communicators, educators, and students whose contributions have led to significant economic or societal benefit in western Pennsylvania. These awardees will be recognized at the 24th Annual Carnegie Science Awards Celebration on Sept. 17, 2020. Learn more about Carnegie Science Awards.
