THE WORLD WE CREATE is a celebration of the creative thinking that makes scientific advancements possible. Touch it! Hear it! Compute it! Design it! There's no limit to what can be done in this mind-boggling display of man-made innovation.

THE WORLD WE CREATE features 50 challenging action areas to investigate, plus two exciting demonstration areas.

Core Content Connections

You may find it impossible to keep your hands to yourself! Whether you're building with blocks, designing a bike, delivering high-tech packages or conducting chemistry experiments, you'll see that this tour of science is downright touchable.

Enter the challenging worlds of manufacturing, transportation, chemistry, architecture, physics, engineering and communication in eight exhibit areas and demonstrations spaces.

Chemistry Kitchen
It may look like bread and water on a kitchen counter, but this is a dynamic laboratory for everyday scientists. Step up to the counter and conduct your own experiments or even make your styrene foam. If you want a demonstration, stand by. A Science Center presenter is "cooking" concrete! Teachers, click here!

Tech Forum
Here is teleconferencing with a twist. Through the Kentucky TeleLinking Network, students off-site can take a "virtual tour" of the Science Center or participate in programs with presenters and students at our site. Teachers, click here!

Inventor's Garage
Pipes, pulleys, string... challenge your inner-inventor to get the tennis ball from the suspended basket to the target bucket across the floor. Or make physics come to life in a box. Here's a garage full of gadgets and gizmos waiting for your imagination.

LouieNet Lounge
Click into the Computer Age. Make yourself comfortable at a futuristic computer station and use touch screen technology. Go ahead and try it---this technology is for touching.

Construction Site
So what if you've never used a hammer? Now you can be a crane operator helping other visitors build a tower. Or you can be an architect. Or the supervisor for the construction of a Louisville landmark. Now's the time to put on that hard hat.

Transit Hub
Getting there was never so much fun - or challenging. Deliver an important message to Mars or explore Kentucky's own water, rail, roadway and air transportation system. Ready, set, transport!

Tech Works
Welcome to the factory floor. Those are Kentuckiana-made products on the overhead conveyor belt. Have a seat at the computer and design your own bike. Or try your hand at the Just-In-Time game, which proves modern manufacturing is a breathless contest of precision.
