Simple makes a statement, and that’s certainly true with STEM! Science Unplugged gets back to basics with hands-on elements demonstrating scientific concepts found in architecture and physics. Build a bridge and reconstruct world famous arches. Stack blocks to make a gravity-defying cantilever. Experiment with tops, wheels and bursts of air. Get a mechanical advantage using pulleys and gears. It’s a throwback – because scientific principles never get old!

On display January 14–May 15, 2026.
