Be a Scientist

Build a Better World
Direct experience of the physical world around us is the first step to becoming a scientist. The child who has played with an air cannon can accept the fact that air has mass. Even as we grow older, physical experiences can deepen conceptual understanding. Playing today is an important step down the path of becoming an innovator tomorrow.
