This Sunday, October 20, KID Museum hosts The Future of Transportation Day, where kids of all ages will be invited to think creatively about new and exciting ways to get around in the future!
--Use sensors, “smart paints,” and energy harvesting devices to design “smart roads” for Ozobot robots and construct aerodynamic vehicles powered by pneumatic tubes.
--Design suspension and cable-style bridges using cardboard, string, and popsicle sticks.
--Learn about magnetic levitation rail technology and build “maglev” vehicles out of cardboard, hot glue, and magnets.
The Future of Transportation Day is sponsored by Central Japan Railway Company, which will proudly demo the world’s fastest and finest high-speed rail technology, including:
--Miniature model maglev trains,
--Experiments of floating magnets that use superconducting effects, and
--Videos of Japanese super high-speed trains in action
Drop in from 10 am to 5 pm
