MakerSpace
The Innovation Station consists of a science lab and a maker space. What is a maker space? The Maker Space allows children and families to use real tools and materials to design, make, tinker and create projects on their own. Kids can take stuff apart and learn the inner workings of machines, build and make cool things, and just experiment and explore.
Check out all the great activities happening in the Innovation Station. Visit our
online home and follow along on our making adventure!

Physics Days
ISU Faculty, Dr. Jay Ansher and students will provide hands-on demonstrations, experiments and more on new topics each month!
Thursday, April 5: Collisions
When two objects try to be in the same spot at the same time, they can't! How do collisions work, and what happens when energy and momentum are traded back and forth? Let the ISU Physics Club demonstrate what happens in a collision and how to gain the advantage in your next bumper-car or ice hockey experience!
Thursday, May 3: Weather
Wind, sunshine, storms, and clouds are all part of basic physics and chemistry. Stop by as the ISU Physics Club presents some simple demonstrations that help explain the science that goes into your local weather forecast.
