Technology fills every day of our lives. At Innovation Station visitors can experience the excitement of invention as they explore technology in a whole new way. Then, they can even invent something incredible themselves. Innovation Station allows visitors to try their skills at programming a robot, building an aqueduct to bring water to a model town, or designing their own flying machines. Visitors can also step inside the Inventors Ball Room and build their own crazy contraptions to send balls whizzing, flying, and bouncing all around, or compare their own hands to the fast, precise moves of

Too Small to See is a 5,000 square-foot interactive traveling museum exhibition designed to provide hands-on nanotechnology science education to youth age 8 to 13 and adults. It debuted at Disney's Epcot and will reach over three million people during a five-year US tour. This evaluation examines the exhibition’s outcomes and impact on increasing visitors’ awareness of, interest in, engagement with, and understanding of nanoscale science, engineering, and technology. An overarching goal is to document the project’s contribution to the portfolio of federally funded Science Technology

In MIT’s NSF-funded Terrascope Youth Radio (TYR) program, urban youth, many from groups historically underrepresented in the sciences, worked as paid interns who received training in radio production, reporting and writing stories with scientific content and audio storytelling to create environmentally oriented audio pieces that were engaging and relevant to their own and their peers’ lives. Teen interns participated between July 2008 and Autumn 2012. TYR’s goals were to improve a broad audience of teens’ engagement with, knowledge of, and attitudes about science, technology, engineering, and
