“We want to excite children about the world of science, and the Molecularium program is a tremendous tool to ignite their curiosity.”
Shirley Ann Jackson, Ph.D. President, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
“All of us at LodeStar--and our visitors--loved turning our planetarium into the Molecularium. The show delights, engages, and educates audiences in important science concepts outside the traditional bounds of astronomy and planetarium programming. It's fun, impossibly cute, terrifically clever, and the learning comes in the most convivial way done yet on a digital dome.”
David Beining,
Director,
LodeStar Astronomy Center
“Molecularium has gotten rave reviews from teachers and from the public! We were skeptical at first as it seemed like a lot of content for the age range of the cartoon format, but everyone learns something new in this fast paced show with its memorable songs and
characters. ”
Alexandra Barnett, Executive Director,
Chabot Space & Science Center

The Molecularium™ Project is an entirely new way to learn. Our mission is to excite audiences of all ages and sizes to explore science in the world around them.
Our premiere attraction, Riding Snowflakes, the award-winning Digital-Dome experience, is a science lesson, a thrill-ride, and a magical musical adventure in a world of atoms and molecules. Aboard the Molecularium, audiences join a cast of atomic characters on an immersive and unforgettable adventure into the nanoscale universe. Explore billions and trillions of atoms and molecules with Oxy, a precocious oxygen atom, and Hydro and Hydra, her wacky hydrogen pals. Ride from the atomic structure of a snowflake to the far reaches of space aboard the Molecularium, the most fantastic ship in the Universe.
The Molecularium family of products and educational tools brings the nanoscale universe to life in any situation. Zoom into the molecular level, build molecules from atoms, and explore states of matter in the Nanolab of our interactive Kid’s Site. The experiments, activities and songs included in our Teacher's Resource Guide are free and fun for your home, classroom or museum.
The Molecularium Project is committed to promote science literacy and awareness for audiences of all ages. Our goal is to create a series of unique vehicles using engaging stories, songs and characters to fulfill this commitment. Molecularium is the flagship outreach and informal education effort of Rensselaer’s National Science Foundation funded Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center for Directed Assembly of Nanostructures.
