In Short
The Tech has more than 240 hands-on exhibits in four themed galleries that teach about technologies affecting daily life. Play at the inventor's workbench, make a movie in the Digital Studio, use the latest animation technology, shake in an earthquake, build a microchip, create a 3-D self-portrait, or learn about the transparent body in an exhibit on MRI and ultrasound scanning. Visitors can meet inventors at the lecture series.
