Invent, design, create and build in Tech City, the Museum of Discovery’s new exhibit which opened last Saturday, February 8.

Tech City features 12 interactive stations that allow visitors to solve problems that engineers face each day on the job.

“One of our goals at the Museum of Discovery is helping young people establish a clear line of sight between science- and technology-related activities and careers in important, rewarding fields like engineering,” said museum CEO Kelley Bass. “In Tech City our visitors will engage in some of the day-to-day tasks engineers take on and see that these activities can be fun and challenging.”

In Tech City, visitors can build structures that will withstand the force of an earthquake; use a computer program to adjust simulated traffic flow by changing traffic light timing; engineer with sound in a studio with effects and instruments and play the recordings back; dam a creek to prevent flooding; build a bridge and more. The exhibit also includes a play area for young museum visitors.

Tech City is supported in part by Garver and will be on display through May 11. For more information visit http://www.museumofdiscovery.org or call 501-396-7050.

Museum of Discovery’s mission is to ignite a passion for science, technology and math in a dynamic, interactive environment.
