Visitors for simple machines

The Simple Machines program was partially funded with a grant.
Visitors examine probe microscope
Visitors examine things magnified 100 times by the probe microscope which displays on a color monitor.

This is one of the few aspects of Explorit's public space that is a permanent feature. Visitors can video-tape and narrate their experiences with this equipment - and take the narrated videotape away with them.

The fibre optic microscope system was obtained with a grant from The T.B. Walker Foundation.
Discovery Den
A young visitor quetly enjoys a visit in the Discovery Den.

This area is designed for the whole family and is intended to feel comfortable and home-like, but is crammed with science in ways that emphasize that science is an integral part of our everyday lives.

The animal quarters were obtained with a grant from the S.H. Cowell Foundation.
