Great Lakes Science Center

The Great Lakes Science Center will develop an interactive multimedia exhibit focusing on northeast Ohio hot topics related to fresh water and the Great Lakes as part of its Great Lakes Story gallery. The exhibit will have in-depth content including topical scientific facts and balanced expert opinions and let visitors draw their own conclusions about potentially controversial issues such as hydraulic fracturing and its potential impact on the watershed that feeds the Great Lakes. The exhibit will feature touch-screen monitors, game-format activities, interviews with experts, and an interactive map. The exhibit will use current issues to provide informal STEM education rooted in real-world scientific challenges relevant to the region.
