IRS990/Desc0PERMANENT EXHIBITS - Two new permanent exhibits were installed in 2016- Imagination Playground and a Train set exhibit.-Imagination Playground consists of sets of multiple shape and size large high-density foam blue blocks that children and families can use to build, imagine and create with. This fully hands-on exhibit is open-ended allowing visitors to create experiences that are unique to them. The blocks are utilized in a park-like space with green carpet squares underfoot and white picket fencing and park benches surround the play space. The exhibit allows for children to learn basic physics principles through fun, kinesthetic experimentation.-The train set exhibit is a large (12 X 8) structure containing three trains and multiple other moving set pieces. The set is controlled by buttons along the side that visitors can interact with to make the trains and other items come to life. The train set is an excellent example of and way to discuss simple electrical circuits and the various forms of energy.The Discovery Science Place hosted a unique traveling exhibit in 2016- Bodies Human: Anatomy in Motion. This amazing exhibit featured a half dozen full body specimens as well as over 100 partial human specimens and provided an unparalleled opportunity to learn about human anatomy and physiology. This exhibit was geared towards teens and adults and was featured at the DSP June through August of 2016. As our community is heavily invested in the medical field this exhibition was a strong draw for both high-school, college and professional group field trips.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0MINI MAKER FAIRE - The fourth annual Tyler Mini Maker Faire as hosted by the Discovery Science Place in April of 2016. With over 1200 attendees the event was a huge success and broke overall attendance records for the event. Makers of all kinds were in attendance including a professional blacksmith, high school robotics clubs, university chemistry clubs, local artisans, and more. Visitors were able to participate in a wide variety of hands-on making experiences- from high-tech cutting edge to skills and tools from antiquity.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0In conjunction with the University of Texas at Tyler, with which the DSP has an official working partnership, science camps were held at the museum over winter break, spring break, and throughout the summer. Camps range in length from single day to one week and the subjects vary, but are always focused on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). In 2016 the Discovery Science Place was awarded a grant by the Junior League of Tyler to provide camp scholarships for 48 students from local Title 1 public elementary school campuses. UT Tyler makes use of the facilities and exhibits of the DSP to serve as many local students as possible- providing safe, fun, educational experiences throughout the school holidays.
