"Educational programs" of the museum include a variety of areas for children and adults. "Scientific laboratories" of the Polytechnic Museum are fun and informative workshops that take place in the form of games. The programs have been developed by the best scientists specifically for children and the lessons are given by wonderful young teachers. During training, the children not only get additional knowledge about different disciplines but also carry out their own research, as well as create exhibits for displays. Today the museum offers laboratories in chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, robotics, as well as a children's center of automotive design and a children's lecture hall. Moreover, in September 2013 a University of Children was opened. This is an educational project of the museum created in partnership with HSE (Higher School of Economics). The University of Children is a center of additional education for pupils aged 8–11. During lectures and seminars, university students make experiments and carry out their own research with the help of scientists and experts from different fields of science.
