Whether it is engineering, art or music, it takes science and math to meet these design challenges. In Design Zone, visitors can learn how these engineering problem solvers use math and science to do the creatively amazing things they do. Visitors can step into a DJ recording studio, go behind the scenes at a bike race, and enter a video game design studio. 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 rich in STEM. NEW TRAVELING EXHIBIT Design Zone Opening Event Spin Disc Art We’re putting a new spin on art! Learn about centrifugal force and create your own masterpiece on our spin machines. Water Xylophone Sound is all about the vibrations! Discover how we can change sound pitch by changing the amount of vibration. Pick a song to play or go freestyle on our giant water xylophone. Build a City The sky is the limit... skyscrapers that is. Design and construct your own addition to our Museum city! We’ll need all engineers on deck to build the largest city we can! Anki Cars These racecars are self-aware and they want to race! Using our tablets as controllers, you will race your car against others and see who takes first place! First LEGO League Robotics (Saturday, January 19 only) Come support local elementary schools as they demo their robots for the FIRST Lego League competition.
