Interactive Science Exhibits

Science comes to life through hands-on exploration, where young learners test ideas, make discoveries, and see real-world forces in action. Interactive exhibits transform learning into play, sparking curiosity, wonder,  and a deeper understanding of the world.

Air, Pressure, & Flight

Forces and motion come to life through hands-on exhibits. Experiment with air currents, test aerodynamics, and explore the principles of lift and thrust.

Electricity & Magnetism

Gears, suspension, and traction play a crucial role in performance. Experiment with how different forces affect movement and stability on rough terrain.

Gravity & Newtonian Physics

Balance, force, and motion shape the physical world. Observe gravity in action, test Newton’s laws, and explore the mechanics behind everyday movement.

Color, Lights, & Sound

Waves and perception create the sights and sounds of our world. Bend light, mix colors, and experiment with vibrations to see and hear science in action.

Collaborative Stations

Teamwork is a critical foundational skill a child needs to develop for future success. Collaborative play exhibits encourage children to develop cooperation, negotiation, and emotional regulation skills with their peers.

Exploratory

Open-ended play and shared discovery encourage curiosity. Children investigate, ask questions, and make connections together.

Constructive

Building and problem-solving promote teamwork. Groups plan, assemble, and create solutions through shared effort on mechanical, biology, or physics projects.

Competitive

Structured challenges such as the Flight Lab foster strategy and resilience. Fair play and teamwork guide children through goal-oriented activities.

Simulated

From working in the 0KM farm to checking out in a supermark, role-play scenarios develop communication and cooperation. Children take on roles, navigate challenges, and engage in group storytelling.

Sensory Room

A calming, interactive space where children can engage their senses at their own pace. From soft textures to glowing fiber optics, gentle sounds to playful vibrations, every element encourages curiosity, self-regulation, and discovery. 

Touch

Soft, bumpy, and squishy surfaces invite hands-on discovery. Textures shift under pressure, creating a rich tactile experience.

Sound

Gentle melodies and rhythmic vibrations engage the senses. Tones resonate, instruments hum, and sound takes shape through movement.

Light

Shifting colors and glowing patterns create a mesmerizing visual experience. Light transforms space, casting shadows and blending hues.

Movement

Swaying fibers, spinning patterns, and shifting surfaces create dynamic motion. Objects glide, ripple, and rotate, shaping the rhythm of the space.

The 'Yes' Zone

A fully baby-proofed and child-friendly space designed to be safe and stimulating for newborns and toddlers. Children can explore freely without constant parental intervention, reducing the need for saying “no” and fostering independence and socialization with other children. 

Crawlers Welcome

Soft, cushioned surfaces support safe early movement. Open space encourages reaching, pushing, and exploring.

Toddler Secure

Enclosed areas and rounded edges in a a hazard-free zone. Safe materials and sturdy design prevent bumps and falls.

Independence

Without unnecessary restrictions, little ones make choices, test boundaries, and help parents foster their curiosity and confidence.

Motor Skills

Graspable objects and textured surfaces support fine motor development. Touching, pressing, and holding strengthen coordination.

Problem Solving Arena

Success is a function of overcoming a series failures. Tackle challenges based on the Next Generation Science Standards (US) and develop the mental fortitude to experiment, fail, and try again. 

MS-ETS1-1

Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural environment that may limit possible solutions.

MS-ETS1-2

Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.

MS-ETS1-3

Analyze data from tests to determine similarities and differences among several design solutions to identify the best characteristics of each that can be combined into a new solution to better meet the criteria for success.

MS-ETS1-4

Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such that an optimal design can be achieved.

Conquer the Rubicon Trail

Off-road driving is a test of precision and problem-solving. Navigate a remote-controlled 4X4 crawler over a rugged course inspired by the famous Rubicon Trail. Every rock, incline, and turn presents a new challenge, requiring careful adjustments in speed, steering, and balance. Experiment with real-world physics and conquer the trail!

Terrain Navigation

Gears, suspension, and traction play a crucial role in performance. Experiment with how different forces affect movement and stability on rough terrain.

Vehicle Mechanics

Gentle melodies and rhythmic vibrations engage the senses. Tones resonate, instruments hum, and sound takes shape through movement.

Precision and Control

Careful steering and throttle adjustments determine success. Master the balance between power and finesse to navigate tight turns and tricky climbs.

Problem-Solving in Action

Every obstacle presents a new challenge to overcome. Observe, adapt, and refine techniques to improve performance and reach the finish line.
