EVENT 3: The Discovery Science Center

 
Boy did this place take me back! The Discovery Science Center is a really cool place targeted for kids but can still fun for people of all ages! There are definitely a lot of examples of Math & Art, Robotics & Art, and Technology & Art in all the cool exhibits, but I'm choosing to focus on the environmentally conscious games available for kids to play. Below is a picture of a game for kids that highlights the importance of recycling.

The next game was a fully stocked, artificial grocery store where kids can pretend to grocery shop while learning the damage each product can cause to the planet. 

And the next was my favorite which was an interactive game that teaches kids how to properly dispose of any household products that can be toxic to themselves and the environment. I took a video because its pretty cool!


Although these games relate closer to environmental problems then art, I can relate it to the Nanotechnology unit because the planetary damage being caused by toxic waste products is happening on a nanoparticle level.
