Tech Fest 2010 February 20, 2010

Fun meets function! Find out how at Tech Fest. This annual event encourages you to rethink technology and get excited about future scientific discoveries and achievements. From motorcycles to online games to fuel cell cars to ball bearings to helicopters you make yourself, Tech Fest will dazzle kids and grownups with an eye-popping look at everyday technology that is anything but mundane. Join us for hands-on activities, crafts, and more! Tech Fest caps off National Engineers Week with a celebration that hopes to inspire the next generation of science leaders.

Also, don’t forget to see the 79-ft domed giant IMAX® Theater, a technological marvel in its own right, where Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia with its accurate and exciting portrayal of dinosaurs is currently playing.
