interactive 2000 sq. ft. exhibition features 17 exhibits designed to
inspire questions and encourage investigation. Explore the math,
science, engineering and culture of circles. Discover what makes the
circle the best shape for both pizzas and car wheels, or why bubbles,
the sun and the iris of your eye are all circles.
Visitors of all ages will uncover the properties of a simple shape
with powerful applications. Preschoolers can explore circular objects
like coconuts, oranges, and the Vietnamese round boat. Older children
can contemplate the engineering and physical advantage of circles to
solve problems, such as pulling heavy loads or providing architectural
support. Adults may even learn a thing or two about different compass
designs or the variety of shapes generated by rotating circles around an
axis! Secrets of Circles was designed to intrigue a wide
range of ages, as well as visitors from different backgrounds. All of
the exhibit signage is tri-lingual, (English, Spanish, and Vietnamese)
and spaces are wheelchair accessible.
