In honor of its past, the museum focuses on energy-related themes throughout its exhibit spaces and in its outreach programs.

Today, the original boiler room remains intact and serves as the science center's theater.

Community organizations then began reorganizing and reopened the museum as the Powerhouse Science Center.

Hacking at Leaves is a documentary film by Johannes Grenzfurthner that chronicles the community efforts at the Powerhouse MakerLab during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The lab played a pivotal role in the global response by producing medical equipment for the Four Corners region, focusing specifically on the hard-hit Navajo Nation.
