Tech City is a traveling exhibition that includes fun, interactive stations where visitors solve the kind of real-world problems that engineers face. The exhibits present an engineering approach with opportunities for designing, building, testing, and modifying.
Dam the Creek
Visitors prevent the creek from flooding Tech City by building a gravity dam using metal blocks.
Earthquake!!!
Visitors design and build structures, then test the results against earthquake forces on the shake table.
Build a Bridge
Visitors experiment with model bridges at the build and test station. They can also walk across three 2.4 meter-long bridges with different levels of sag.
Seperation Station
This component features a hydraulic system of clear pipes where visitors can experiment with different filters to separate out plastic beads.
Design the Plaza
Visitors can experiment with the trade-offs between aesthetics and cost while designing patterns using tiles on a city plaza model.
