Coming Soon: ThinkSpace!

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!
