What does it take to create a video game, line up rhythms like a professional DJ, or design a roller coaster that thrills its riders? Whether it is engineering, art or music, it takes science and math to meet these design challenges. In Design Zone, students can go behind the scenes and see how these engineering problem solvers use math and science to do the creatively amazing things they do. Guests can step into a DJ recording studio, go behind the scenes at a bike race, and enter a video game design studio. While immersed in this largely hands-on exhibit, students will solve real-world challenges and discover how math and science are essential to the creative process. Design Zone focuses on artistic problem solving using algebraic thinking in a context that is relevant and educationally rich in STEM. 14 Design Zone Big Ideas 1: The Practice of Science 2: The Characteristics of Scientific Knowledge 4: Science and Society Traveling Exhibit January 19 – April 28, 2019
