The Fungo exhibit is here because spring time is around the
corner. That means baseball season is back and the Aeronautics
Through Sports exhibit has the MKI fungo team ready to swing the
bat! Always wonder why the ball leaps into the air off the bat?
Or why the ball skids across the dirt to the infielders? Live
demonstrations will happen on the half-hours. Bring your glove
and try it out!
Learn
It's not slime, ooze or goo that keeps that gecko on the wall.
How does it work? Go to the Science of Sticky exhibit and crawl
around on our incline wall and find out.
Welcome to MKI
Welcome to The McKnight Institute. When you're visiting MKI,
you'll loose track of time. Hours and hours of visual and
tactile experiences await!
Exhibits
At MKI, it's not just learning about how things are, it's about
learning how things work. We don't show you an image with lots
of text to demonstrate our exhibits. You actively participate
inside the exhibits! Whether it's learning about aerodynamics
through hitting golf balls or throwing baseballs, driving an
experimental spaceship around the solar system, playing with
steam pressure to power a factory, creating new adhesives, or
driving a train up a mountain pass, your creativity is helping
to run the exhibit.
