As global population continues to expand, we will need to find new ways to move people efficiently, sustainably, and safely. This Sunday, October 20, KID Museum hosts The Future of Transportation Day, where kids of all ages will be invited to think creatively about electric cars, self-driving vehicles, high speed rail, and other exciting ways to get around in the future!

Families will have an opportunity to explore these activities and more:

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.

Drop-in any time from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 20. Admission is $12 per child (includes up to two adults). KID Museum is located at 6400 Democracy Blvd, in the lower level of Davis Library.
