INVENTORS AND INVENTIONS
The six steps of the Innovation Process are explored in the exhibition – Think It!, Explore It!, Create It!, Try It!, Try Again!, and Tweak It! – through examples of well-known inventions, such as Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone. Colorful graphics, replica artifacts, and hands-on interactives introduce a world of ordinary and extraordinary inventions and their inventors – some of whom were children.
ENCOURAGING INNOVATION
The Innovator’s Workshop, a maker space at the center of the Innovation Process experience helps children realize that they too can be an inventor. It demonstrates the innovation process and challenges children to invent solutions to two problems using everyday materials in creative ways.
