About Our Partners (2024-25)

The DoSeum

The DoSeum is much more than a children’s museum: it’s a place where interactive fun and hands-on learning come together—a place where minds are always at play. The DoSeum offers exhibits, programs, camps, classes, and field trips designed for all learners, encouraging young minds to explore the joy of learning through connections to STEM, the arts, and literacy.

This will be the second year that the DoSeum hosts the Made in SA series, which will also feature informational music and instrument tables for attendees to explore after the concert.
