Live Demonstration Stage
Continue the momentum with live MythBusting.
When your individual experiments have concluded, it's time to join your fellow scientists in the exhibition stage area for a high-energy, group investigation into principles of motion and momentum. Live, 10-minute demonstrations apply the scientific method to action-packed questions.
Dodge a Paintball: Do you have the reaction time necessary to make the messy missile miss? If you volunteer to be the "you," don't worry: we've got the protective gear for you.
Demonstrations are all about analytical thinking. There will be guessing, testing and discovering, not to mention a helping of crashing and splashing. It's experimentation the MythBusters and MSI way.
Programs are presented regularly during exhibit hours; schedules may vary.
