Collaboration Station
Towers, televisions, trucks, and toys – there are so many marvelous structures and products that we use every day! Join the Air Zoo and become part of an engineering team to learn how engineers create and design. Working all together now, you will discover creative uses for materials, collaborate on STEAM projects, and explore how engineers see the world around them!

An OCEAN of Possibilities  
Dive into the ocean with the Air Zoo! Learn about a variety of sea creatures who call the ocean home, experiment with buoyancy and locomotion techniques, and create a marine critter to take home! You'll also discover that the Earth's water resources are limited and must be protected as we find out just how important the oceans are to our future. 

It’s a Bird  
It’s a bird...it’s a plane...actually, it’s both! Discover the similarities between animal and machine while exploring the story of human flight. Get hands on and dive further into avian adaptations and find out how their bodies are specially adapted for flight, how the shape of their beak helps them catch specific food, and how they survive in different climates. Then, compare these adaptations to the adaptations of other animals, like the aye aye, the white tail deer, and more! Finally, adapt an animal of your choice to help it thrive in a brand-new environment!
