Exhibits
The Orpheum Children's Science Museum is just oozing with exhibit fun:
- A new Smart Grid exhibit is opening in September! This interactive exhibit will explore how new technologies will increase options for consumers to use electronic devices to manage their electricity consumption. The exhibit will teach about electricity production and delivery. Visitors will learn about the balance between energy costs and concerns about climate change and the environment. They will be able to view effects of increasing amounts of renewable energy sources like wind and solar. This exciting and important exhibit is the result of a collaboration between the Office for Mathematics, Science and Technology Education (MSTE) and the Orpheum Children’s Science Museum. The exhibit is made possible through a grant from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Public Engagement at UIUC. The exhibit will open on Saturday, September 18th, from 1-5 p.m.
