Discovery Hall

For this gallery dedicated to the physical sciences we created engaging, hands-on digital interactives that show kids just how much agency they can have on the world around them. Playful exhibits turn abstract scientific concepts kids may learn in school into accessible, fun moments that highlight why science matters to both their immediate community and the world.

Get in Your Element!

The center of this exhibit–a giant periodic table that lights up when visitors select an element–puts the building blocks of our physical world in kids’ hands. Visitors use touch screens to virtually alchemize common molecules like salt, CO2, and rust. A virtual beaker reveals the end result, along with animated molecules and facts about each element involved.

The museum can continuously update the experience by adding more compounds and animations to the dynamic content management system we created for this exhibit.

Climate Climb

This Arctic-themed interactive teaches kids that a location’s climate is its weather patterns over time. Visitors enter their birthdate to see temperature variations on that same day throughout history. A playful polar bear keeps kids company while they learn.

Weather Station

Using a mix of virtual sliders, visitors remix weather conditions to create atmospheric outcomes from blizzards to thunderstorms. Along the way they learn how different environmental factors like humidity, air pressure, and stability affect the weather in their own community.

Three exhibits for and about the people of Flint
