Sara Sorenson of Somerset County, Nicole Pittaluga and Nisha Patel of Morris County and Mia Gregory of Short Hills have big plans to create a children's museum called MOMI (Museum of Makers + Innovators) 

in the community that connects art, science and nature and provides learning through play for children of all ages, learning styles, and abilities. MOMI will be sustainably designed with plans that include over 50,000 sq. ft. of indoor space and at least 0.5 acre of outdoor space with exhibits that are both educational and fun. There will be a teaching kitchen, a water play area, a maker's space with real tools, and a wild garden with a tree house. The team is raising funds for MOMI and to deliver its first permanent space - the MOMI Playful Learning pocket park, working in partnership with the Morris Marketplace development.
