Explore Your Creativity inside MOSI
New Exhibition – Design Zone Opens July 2

What does it take to create an addictive and fun videogame? How many beats per second does a DJ need to get bodies moving on the dance floor? What goes behind creating a roller coaster or a skate park that produces the most fun and biggest thrills? Discover the secrets behind how videogame developers, music producers, roller coaster designers, and other creative problem solvers do what they do in MOSI’s new exhibition, Design Zone, opening July 2. Design Zone is presented at MOSI through the generous support of Bank of America and will be on exhibit through September 5.
Design Zone’s themed areas include:

ART-
Visitors design their own 2-D and 3-D art and explore visual creativity in the Videogame Design Lab, Architecture Studio, and the Digital Design Domain. Area highlights include Drawing in Motion, where visitors use a digital pen to trace a line art masterpiece on a giant screen and create their own images, and Jump on it—similar to many classic arcade games—where visitors choose a character, adjust the jump power and gravity and land on targets to collect points.

MUSIC-
Visitors explore relationships between length and pitch in musical instruments, ratios and rhythms, and visual representations of sound in On Stage!, Dance Party, and the DJ Recording Studio. Area highlights include Laser Light DJ where visitors discover how laser light show technicians create mesmerizing patterns, and Turntables, where they can practice their DJ skills by trying to seamlessly match beats per minute to the tempo of a new song.

ENGINEERING-
Visitors experience the Theme Park and the Action Sports Arena where they’ll discover the math and physics behind anything that moves. Area highlights include Bike Race, where they can climb into bike stations, test gear combinations, and compete in a virtual race and Design a Skate Park where visitors manipulate slope to create essential skate park features, test their design with a virtual skater and ride the course!



Experience an Adrenaline-Fueled Adventure on
MOSI’s New Sky Trail® Ropes Course!
Opening summer 2011


The Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) will be opening a brand new ropes course titled the Sky Trail® Ropes Course this summer.  The new ropes course will be located outside in a covered, shady area for guests of all ages to enjoy. 

Conquer your fears and experience an adrenaline rush like no other on MOSI’s new Sky Trail® Ropes Course, featuring 36 elements on a 12 – 36 foot high, multilevel structure. The ropes course is designed with challenging high-energy feats ideal for all ages.

          MOSI’s ropes course is different from other courses in the area because unlike other courses, MOSI does not require a minimum number of people to participate to experience the course.  Other Tampa Bay area locations only open their courses for large groups, but MOSI will be able to accommodate one guest all the way up to an entire group of people.  The Sky Trail® Ropes Course also only requires one clip in, so throughout the structure there is no detaching required. 

Tanya Vomacka, vice president of marketing and corporate relations said, “We are looking forward to bringing a new experience to our science center by adding the ropes course.  The new ropes course is meant for all ages and we feel the Tampa Bay area will truly enjoy this unique experience.  The Sky Trail® Ropes course is the first step in many more exciting things we hope to add to our outdoor play area at MOSI in the future.”

MOSI’s Sky Trail® Ropes Course will be open everyday.  Weekday hours will be 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and on weekends the course will be open from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.  The ropes course will also be open evening hours Friday – Saturday until 8 p.m.  Group rates and exclusive birthday party packages are also available.  Please visit www.mosi.org or call (813) 987-6000 for more information and details.  Closed toe shoes are required.
