Students from Goodloe Elementary School in Canton had the opportunity to witness innovation up close while assisting during a recent ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Mississippi Children’s Museum, held in partnership with Nissan.

The event marked the launch of a new interactive exhibit designed to inspire curiosity, creativity and real-world learning. One of the featured experiences includes the all-electric Nissan ARIYA, allowing children to explore the world of electric mobility in an engaging, hands-on environment.

The partnership between the museum and Nissan aims to introduce young learners to concepts of innovation, industry and future-focused technology. Through immersive exhibits, the collaboration encourages students to imagine their roles in shaping the world of tomorrow.

Goodloe Elementary officials said they were honored to take part in the celebration and are excited about the educational opportunities the exhibit offers for scholars.

“This is an incredible experience for our students,” one school representative said. “It not only sparks their imagination but connects them to emerging technologies in a way that is accessible and inspiring.”

The Mississippi Children’s Museum continues to serve as a hub for experiential learning across the state, with community and corporate partnerships like this one playing a key role in expanding access to STEM-based education.
