NASA has commissioned a team of physicists to design a new interstellar mission to send a probe on a space journey that could last a century. Discover how a spacecraft from the 1970s is still teaching us about the galaxy and learn how scientists are designing a mission that spans generations. |

Join Tracey the pencil dog and her crew—Rooth, Drop, Inky, Uno, and Kari—on a fantastically immersive journey to create stories using science and imagination.
Dive into the world of storytelling and channel your creativity to develop your own animated production using storyboarding, sketching, stop-motion movie making, and more! The quirky cast of characters and hands-on interactives break down the process step-by-step to reveal how animated features are created. Animationland empowers visitors of all ages to experiment, learn, and tell their own stories through animation. This exhibition was created by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry and is made possible through generous funding from Visit Gainesville, Alachua County. |

The Sweat Solution
Gatorade from concept to commercialization and beyond...
The Sweat Solution provides a summary answer to that delicate but necessary question posed in 1965, "Why don't football players ever urinate during a game?" The exhibit will showcase the invention of Gatorade, the lives saved because of its science, the industries that emerged from its invention, and its incredible global impact.
