==Updates== According to Nicholas Efran, "The Carnegie Science Center has been a gathering place for kids and families for many years." However, currently there are many new exhibits that staff are "Not able to include because of the smaller size of the building"<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.carnegiesciencecenter.org|title=Carnegie Science Center: Home|website=www.carnegiesciencecenter.org|language=en|access-date=2017-12-14}}</ref> In June 2018, the museum's new wing opened, allowing the museum to host new and larger exhibits. In August 2021, the [[Pittsburgh]] Zoning Board of Adjustment extended the center's use of its 450-space parking lot until 2026, at which point it will need to significantly reduce the space number to 75 spaces to conform to [[Zoning|zoning regulations]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Carnegie Science Center can keep 450-space parking lot until April 2026, zoning board rules|url=https://www.post-gazette.com/business/development/2021/08/31/Carnegie-Science-Center-parking-lot-north-450-space-April-2026-Allegheny-Station-Heinz-Field-North-Shore/stories/202108310063|access-date=2021-11-12|website=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette|language=en}}</ref> In October 2021, the center received funding from the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)]]'s Communities for Immunity initiative because of its support of vaccine confidence in the Pittsburgh community. It used the $10,000 award to contribute to its [[COVID-19]] vaccination awareness programs.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Carnegie Science Center receives funds to support vaccine confidence|url=https://observer-reporter.com/living/entertainment/carnegie-science-center-receives-funds-to-support-vaccine-confidence/article_8c830954-35b5-11ec-bf95-ef60803d8492.html|access-date=2021-11-12|website=Observer-Reporter|date=27 October 2021 |language=en}}</ref> In June 2022, [[#Roboworld_(Until_2022)|§ Roboworld]] closed. Some of the inductees to the [[Robot Hall of Fame]], such as [[C-3PO]] and [[R2-D2]] from ''[[Star Wars]]'', [[Maschinenmensch|Maria]] from ''[[Metropolis (1927 film)|Metropolis]]'', as well as [[HAL 9000]] from ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'', were moved to the Rangos Giant Cinema. The big, free-throw-shooting basketball robot was moved to the [[#Highmark SportsWorks|§ SportsWorks]] facility. [[Android (robot)|Andy Roid]], the singing Robothespian that greets visitors, was moved to the Science Center’s main lobby. All other robots from the exhibit went into storage "until the Science Center decides what to do with it".<ref name="floor-map">{{Cite web |title=Floor Map - Carnegie Science Center |url=https://carnegiesciencecenter.org/visit/floor-map/ |access-date=2023-06-27 |website=Carnegie Science Center |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name="roboworld-farewell">{{Cite web |title=roboworld® bids farewell |url=https://www.wesa.fm/arts-sports-culture/2022-06-13/goodbye-robots-science-centers-long-running-roboworld-exhibit-bids-farewell-to-pittsburgh |access-date=2023-06-27 |website=WESA |date=13 June 2022 |language=en-US}}</ref>
