Sci-Tech Discovery Center - New Exhibits Open Jan 26th

Bodies, DNA Mutations, Heart Dissections, Nano Science and other Kid-Friendly Fun at Sci-Tech Discovery Center this Weekend!

 

Sci-Tech Discovery Center (Sci-Tech) re-opens Saturday, January 26, 2013 with two brand new exhibits: Bodies in Balance and Putting DNA to Work. Also returning are two long time favorites, Coordination Station and Nano. All of this “Mind-Stretching Fun” is open to the general public at 12 noon on Saturday at the Frisco Discovery Center.

From the day you are born, your body’s systems work hard to stay in balance with each other and to deal with challenging elements you run into in the course of living in a physical world. Your body works persistently and invisibly to keep you healthy.  Bodies in Balance includes 24 interactive stations with tools that explore your body’s maze of complex systems and functions.

See the Velveteen Rabbit

Velveteen Rabbit

“When a child loves you for a long, long time…then you become Real.”

So says the Horse to the Velveteen Rabbit in Margery Williams’ famous and much-loved literary classic.

Now the beloved children’s classic comes to vibrant life as well. A plush rabbit—given as a gift to a young boy—yearns for the day the boy will choose him as his special playmate, so that he can become real.
