Science Storms Advisory Committee
In a world increasingly reliant on science and technology, bringing basic cemistry and physics concepts to life in a way that all of our guests—especially school students—can understand is incredibly important. We invited some of the country's most prominent experts in many areas of science to help us develop an exhibit that will provide relevant and cutting-edge science content while allowing children and adults an open-ended and exciting way to interact with science. The Museum thanks the following committee members for volunteering their time and talents to this project.
