Innovation Station is a space for tinkering, testing and problem-solving. Start with a question—then put it to the test! Using real tools and a wide range of materials, you can prototype, troubleshoot and refine your ideas. Put ideas into motion at the ball fall wall, where gravity and design collide, or test your structures on the shake table to see what stands strong and what needs a rethink.

Innovation Station is also a place for noticing and sharing. Compare results, learn from others and build on discoveries together.

Each visit offers new ways to experiment, create and solve problems. With rotating challenges and ever-changing materials, there’s always a fresh opportunity to explore scientific concepts from gravity and motion to structural design and stability. Think creatively, test boldly and keep going—because the next idea might be your best one yet!
