Cool Stuff
Discovery Place, Inc., Charlotte, North Carolina
Master Planning, Design and Fabrication
Discovery Place chose Hands On! to develop Cool Stuff as a centerpiece of its renovation efforts. Cool Stuff is a physics-based exhibition that, through its rich science content and eccentric, fun design, embodies Discovery Place’s wish to ignite wonder by providing extraordinary learning experiences. Hands On!’s team of exhibit developers worked with the staff from Discovery Place to develop ideas for this unique exhibition. We then took those ideas and created hands-on experiences that help visitors feel and play with physical forces at work in our world.
“Cool Stuff is a resounding success. Our guests love it! The exhibit is packed, and all you can hear is ‘Cool!’, over and over. Thank you for such a fabulous exhibit. You are first-rate in the museum business, and I can’t wait to work on future projects with you.”
