We will also feature two showings of the film ‘Dream Big: Engineering Our World’ narrated by Jeff Bridges in the Caperton Planetarium and Theater.

Based on one of the most admired inventors of all time – Thomas Edison’s Secret Lab shows kids how fun science can be! This STEAM based comedy adventure series engages kids in a fun and entertaining way to encourage them to be adventurous, inquisitive, creative and enterprising. The exhibit invites Clay Center visitors to join the fun through interactive exploration of exciting educational topics that promote science, technology, engineering and math.
