Have the day off this coming Monday, February 17? Spend quality time at the Science Mill; we’ll be open with special hours from 10am-4pm. Along with Presidents’ Day, it’s the start of national Engineers Week. Celebrate by exploring the Mill’s many engineering-themed exhibits, including:
Race Track: Think like an engineer to find the fastest features for your custom race car. Then test your design on a 25-foot track!
Magnetic Ball Wall and Gear Wall: Inspired by our past as a grist mill, combine gears to move “grain” and navigate a path with levers and ramps.
Wind Turbine Test Bed: Can you build a better windmill? Experiment with different turbine blades to see what generates the most energy.
