Kid Power
Get ready to spark curiosity and fuel imagination! This dynamic new exhibit invites children to explore the exciting world of energy, motion, and innovation through hands-on play. From cranking a Power Tower to generate electricity, to designing and racing wind-powered cars, kids engage with real-world engineering concepts in a playful, accessible way.
This exhibit is great for...
learning about big concepts through hands-on play.
Little Builders
A Rotating Zone within the exhibit will feature open-ended building tools like Light Play, Rigamajig, and Blue Blocks, designed to promote critical thinking skills and teamwork.
Experimentation
At the Air Cars Station, children will use hand-crank generators to power wind-driven vehicles, encouraging experimentation, creativity, and hands-on learning.
Energy
Children will generate their own electricity at the Power Tower—lighting bulbs, powering fans, and launching beach balls into the air.
