RISK
February 7, 2009 - September 7, 2009
Fasten your seatbelt and strap on your helmet as we examine the science behind risk-taking! Take a “crash-course’ in risk management with this new hands-on traveling exhibit that explores life experiences, decision-making, and the science, mathematics, and technology that support it. Come face-to-face with a few risky situations that will help you and your students better understand and manage the science of risk, from walking across a construction beam 17 stories high to lying on a bed of nails! Go through “Probability Boot Camp” and see who in your class is the biggest risk-taker!
