Description

As the agency reported it.

Drawing upon children's curiosity and imagination, the exhibit will inspire visitors to "be" the sun as they playfully work to induce an "electric current." this experience will also connect to the museum's own working solar array, composed of tens of thousands of solar cells that generate enough electricity to power the museum. Museum staff will also design a series of facilitated activities including public programs, interactive experiences for school groups, and a resource guide. As a result, visitors and young learners will expand their understanding of renewable energy sources and learn from action-oriented experiences about mitigating the impacts of climate change.
