Spark Labs

  This week we went to Spark Labs at the Museum of American History.

If you live in the area, I highly and quickly recommend it! 

Highly because it is an amazingly fun science and invention lab, quickly because it is closing on October 6th.  They are redoing that section of the museum, and they won't reopen for three years...

Here we have Choclo and Leena working with snap circuits.

 Here are Oob and Klenda constructing/inventing an answer to some kind of farming problem.

 Here is Zorg making a musical marble run.  He's figured out how to propel the marble up vertical spaces.

 Here is Mxyl, creating a new kind of car from lego parts.

Some of the kids spent 1 1/2 hours here.  After an hour, however, I took the younger Zoomlians through the Transportation exhibit. 

I wasn't planning on doing this museum until later, but I really wanted to catch the Spark Lab exhibit, and I'm super glad we did!

Naturally, on the way out, we had to pose with this fellow...
