Ancient Pottery: Piecing Together Our Past
On November 3rd, a new Discovery Room exhibit allows you to step into the shoes of an archaeologist.
Imagine 12 puzzles jumbled together with most of the pieces missing. Then imagine you have no picture to use as a guide. Welcome to the world of an archaeologist working with pottery.
Machines Have Taken Over the Museum!
Robots are not like us, right? Wrong! Visit Robots + Us until January 17th to see how closely today’s robotics are approaching human life.
“The robots in the exhibit are really good at mimicking people, and they blur the line between biology and technology. It’s quite eerie,” says Scott Young, exhibit spokesperson. “They seem to have personalities and feelings, even though you know they really don’t. You know it’s just a computer, but still….It freaked me out.”
You can also enter to win your very own robot!
