Cognition of Davie, the children’s museum and makerspace in Mocksville, has new leadership.

Britney Lowery is the new executive director, and  Aliya Landry is the new site coordinator, approved by  Cognition’s board of directors.

“It has been an honor to be a part of the growth of this incredible organization and I look forward to watching as the new team take it to new heights,” said Jessica White, outgoing director of operations.

“I have loved my time here getting to know the community and sharing my love of STEAM education, I can’t wait to see what the new team brings to Cognition,” said Becca White, outgoing director of education.

As Cognition continues its $100,000 three-year Cognition Challenge, Lowery, is excited about the opportunity.

“As a native of North Carolina, I have been so impressed with the vision and work Davie County has accomplished here at Cognition,” Lowery said. “The flexibility of the interactive exhibit play area and makerspace is developing as a jewel to this community.”

Cognition looks to continue its efforts in expanding the reach and impact of its mission throughout the Piedmont Triad region and in the children’s museum sector overall, she said.

With upcoming school field trips and its annual September carnival and Touch-a-Truck fundraiser, Cognition is full STEAM ahead.

“Being a part of the Cognition team is truly exciting,” Landry said. “I’m eager to help create memorable experiences for kids in our community.”,

Cognition of Davie County is an interactive children’s museum and makerspace in downtown Mocksville. While promoting exploration, education and innovation in Davie and surrounding communities, Cognition creates opportunities for people of all ages to play, learn and grow through its STEAM inspired exhibits and creativity space.
