The Great Lakes Science Center opens a new permanent exhibit Saturday that celebrates the region's contributions to manufacturing technology.

Why it matters: Funded with a $2.25 million grant from JobsOhio — and sponsored by Sherwin-Williams — the Cleveland Creates gallery is meant to inspire the "next generation of innovators" to pursue STEM careers in Cleveland.

It continues the Science Center's focus on expanding access to STEM, as it already partners with CMSD on a robotics initiative to make STEM careers accessible to historically underserved communities.

Details: The gallery — included with the price of general admission — will feature interactive displays that showcase local STEM professionals and highlight technological advances in the fields of aeronautics, robotics, steel and chemistry developed in Northeast Ohio.

What they're saying: "This fun and engaging exhibit is a testament to the Science Center's commitment to bringing science, technology, engineering and math to life for the people of our community," Diana Strongosky, Sherwin-Williams senior vice president of global innovation, said in a statement.

If you go: The Science Center's winter hours are 10am-5pm Tuesday-Saturday and noon-5pm Sunday.
