Since 2021, about 16,450 fifth and eighth grade students in Volusia County Schools have been able to visit the Museum of Arts and Sciences for a day of hands-on learning. 

A $340,000 donation to the FUTURES Foundation by Ormond Beach philanthropists Lowell and Nancy Lohman made that possible. At the Volusia County School Board meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 24, VCS Superintendent Carmen Balgobin announced that the Lohmans had extended their donation by an additional $340,000 to ensure the Lohman’s Museum of Arts and Sciences Field Study program continues for another three years. 

"These two very, very special individuals here have helped our students not only acquire 21st century skills through STEM, but also develop a deep love ... for an area that we know that is expanding every single day — more job opportunities than we know that exist in these areas."
