ThinkSpace, a major new exhibit exploring spatial thinking, opens on Saturday, November 10! This dynamic environment will invite visitors to explore, imagine, create and experiment with shape and space through hands-on play and learning experiences:
- Navigate mystery maze boxes using the senses to guide a ball through hidden twists and turns, and map the path it traveled.
- Create intricate kaleidoscopic designs by layering, ordering and rotating colorful cutout shapes in countless combinations.
- Experiment with shadows and scale, transforming 3-D objects into 2-D representations and creating imaginative shadow scenes.
- Solve the soma cube, a giant 3-D puzzle, by fitting together seven pieces to form a cube. Find one or more of 240 separate solutions!
- Construct domino chain reactions, negotiating spacing and alignment to topple series of spirals and zigzags.
- Explore a nook stocked with books about shape, navigation, and visual and spatial challenges.
- And try other vibrant puzzles, challenges, building activities, and more!
And join us for the ThinkSpace opening celebration, Saturday, November 10 - Monday, November 12 from 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM; free with Museum admission.
