About the Wonder Zone:

• Everbright, an  interactive light wall made of hundreds of dials that change colors when you turn them. Think the Lite-Brite of your childhood, but with hundreds of analog dials and no removable parts.
• Ramps and Magneticars- (see the example) – design your car using the large, foam magnetic pieces. Design your ramp. Can you make an ice cream truck that goes slow? A race car that goes fast?
• Immersive air exhibit – Step inside the circle and float balls or scarves on a stream of air that you can interact with.
• Shape projector – explore light, color and shadow with the shape projector!
