EXHIBITS AT THE POWERHOUSE
Ball Wall
Everyone who’s young or just young at heart loves the ball wall! Move the magnetic ramps and pieces to create your own track for a ball to roll down. You’ll experience the power of kinetic energy and momentum.
Bernoulli Exhibit
Do your kids want to learn about Bernoulli’s principle? Nah. Do they want to float a ping pong ball in the air? Heck, yeah! They’ll see for themselves how the round ball creates a low-density pocket of air that holds the ball in place. Little ones will see that science is cool—older kids will gain understanding and context for lessons they learn in school.
Flight Lab
This exhibit is a perfect stop for all ages. Toddlers love to put balloons and scarves in the tube to see them fly. Older kids delight in creating flying contraptions from craft supplies and odds and ends and see if they will take to the air. Aerodynamics in action!
Puzzle Tables
Brain teasers are so much fun for everyone, and we have lots to offer at our puzzle tables at The Powerhouse. Kids may have to tear their parents and group leaders away as they enjoy a “lifelong learning” experience.
BIRTHDAY PARTIES AT THE POWERHOUSE
Whether you have a small, intimate group to include or you’re planning a bigger blow-out, we have the right option for you.
You can be as simple or festive as you please with decorations, tableware, food, and non-alcoholic beverages. We’ll give you an extra half hour prior to the party to set up, and another half hour afterward to clean up.
THANK YOU SPONSORS
