Our Exhibits

Play is the best way to learn, and here at SPARK, each exhibit is intentionally designed as a robust educational resource that contributes to the well-being of children and the community. Our exhibits are created with an understanding of children’s development and they are aligned with our focus areas, STEAM, health and well-being, and cultural connections. These exhibits help foster exploration, creativity, discovery, innovation, and education.

Can you make water flow upwards? Can you build a dam that can turn lights on in houses? What makes the vortex spin? Explore these questions and more as you splish, splash, and

spray in H2OH!
