The Forum

The site of scientific competitions, demonstrations and discussions, The Forum is equipped with a large projection screen, enabling substantial numbers of guests to view scientific events in a science-rich setting.

Accommodating up to 200 guests, the space is flexible enough to bring breaking science news to the public in a meaningful way as it happens, giving visitors ready access to current science with the unique advantage of being able to ask questions of Science Center experts.

In the Forum

Upon entering the 4,200-square-foot Forum, you can feast your eyes on the Global Microscope, a five-foot diameter sphere mounted on a pedestal, and the Anatomical Microscope, a large, wall-mounted flat projection screen.

“Microscopes” in the sense that these impressive digital multimedia projectors offer a way to "see" millions of pieces of data amalgamated into stunning visual displays, the Global Microscope shows aspects of Earth and planetary sciences while the Anatomical Microscope allows dynamic exploration of the body’s different systems through astonishingly detailed, life-sized images.
