MAIN HALL
Explore a world of discovery and creativity, where interactive exhibits and hands-on experiences bring science and innovation to life.
WE'RE BUILDING THREE EXHIBITS
During our first year, we will build three exhibits in collaboration with students, educators, designers and fabricators.Visitors will have the chance to watch the exhibits come to life, and talk with our designers along the way. This will allow us to share the process of design-thinking with you, whether we're preparing fossils for our fighting dinosaurs or fixing the wheels onto the Mars Rover.

Innovation & Education in Action
All of our exhibits are designed and built by collaborative teams of students, educators, and experts. These projects provide hands-on experience in robotics, paleontology, and engineering, aligning with STEAM principles to inspire creativity and curiosity. Through this process, participants gain real-world skills, earn course credits, and foster a deeper understanding of innovation and teamwork.
