Design Zone
On view in the Jane Golub Gallery
What does it take to create an addictive and fun videogame? How many beats per second does a DJ need to get bodies moving on the dance floor? What goes behind creating a roller coaster or a skate park that produces the most fun and biggest thrills? Discover the secrets behind how videogame developers, music producers, roller coaster designers, and other creative problem solvers do what they do.
Design Zone is an interactive permanent exhibition that highlights the importance of science and mathematical thinking in areas critical to building creativity and innovation: art, music, and engineering and presents the creative concepts behind the processes and tools needed to create a successful design.
African Americans at General Electric
On view February 4 through May 8, 2023
African Americans at General Electric features 60 photographs from the Museum’s Archives. The exhibition was created in collaboration with Milton and Kenneth Evans and displays moments from a history of talented African American scientists, inventors, and engineers and more that worked at General Electric.
Brilliant minds and hard work have always been at the center of science and technology. The success of many corporations, including General Electric, is owed largely to the talented people that they employ. GE was amongst the first companies to embrace people of many races and creeds. Through their perseverance, inventions, and encouragement of future generations, these pioneers have made a lasting impact on their fields, and on STEM education.
Let’s Connect! Exploring Communication Technology
On view through May 14, 2023
A voice travels through the air at 343 meters per second. That wasn’t fast enough. A shout can be heard 2 kilometers away. That wasn’t far enough. Let’s Connect! explores a world of innovation in which scientists, inventors, and visionaries keep breaking limits to make our modern connections what they are today.
As technology has evolved – from carved writings, paper letters and radio broadcasting to instantaneous messaging from almost anywhere on Earth – it has altered the ways in which we interact. This dynamic exhibition explores the efforts of human beings to move an ever-growing quantity of information faster and more broadly than ever before.
