Located just outside Lexington, Kentucky, Newton’s Attic is a nonprofit STEM education center that brings science and engineering to life through hands-on exploration. Founded in 1998 by engineer and educator Bill Cloyd, the 13,000-square-foot facility houses fully equipped wood and metal shops, 3D printers, robotics labs, and testing stations where students can turn ideas into working inventions.

Through year-round classes, summer camps, and school field trips, Newton’s Attic introduces kids to physics, robotics, and engineering concepts in a fun, engaging way — from building catapults and roller coasters to programming robots and launching rockets. With a focus on creativity, problem-solving, and real-world application, Newton’s Attic offers a one-of-a-kind learning experience that inspires the next generation of innovators.
