When school is out, science is in at McWane Science Center! Check out one of their traveling exhibits:
Genome: Unlocking Life’s Code begins to unravel the mystery behind the complete set of instructions needed for every living thing on Earth to grow and function: the genome.
SPEED: Science in Motion replicates the high-octane action of the Formula 1 racetrack, complete with pit lane, workshop and physical testing environments. This immersive experience is designed to unravel the cutting edge science and technology behind professional motor sports.
Don’t forget to check out what’s new in IMAX: Narrated by Captain America himself, Chris Evans, Superpower Dogs (Opening March 15) is the inspiring true story of man’s best friends and also real-life superheroes. Journey around the globe to meet remarkable dogs who save lives and discover the powerful bond they share with their human partners. Follow ‘Halo’, a rookie puppy training to join one of the most elite disaster response teams in America. Meet ‘Henry’, an avalanche rescue expert in the Canadian Rockies, ‘Reef’, a Newfoundland lifeguard with the Italian coastguard, ‘Ricochet’, a Californian surf legend helping people with special needs, and the Bloodhound brothers, ‘Tipper and Tony’, who are leading the fight to save endangered species in Africa. As we discover the incredible abilities of dogs and the astonishing science behind their superpowers, we’ll never look at our best friends the same way again!
Brain Awareness Week: Brain Awareness Week is a global campaign designed to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research. Join McWane and neuroscience students from the University of Alabama at Birmingham for brainy activities!
