Children throw paper airplanes through targets.

Look closely, ask the right questions, take risks, be inspired. This show is about innovation and how to make it happen.

Be part artist, part engineer and part scientist in this innovator incubator.

Creativity is the engine of innovation. To think outside of the box and solve problems, we just need practice. The Imaginate experience space sparks creativity by challenging participants to think differently and look beyond the obvious.

But creativity is only one part of the innovation equation. To encourage innovation, a society must value risk-taking, collaboration, perseverance and dreaming big—and where mistakes are considered perfect first tries. Through its unique experiences, this exhibition introduces visitors to just that type of environment while taking them on a journey to uncover their inner innovator. Along the way, participants discover that creative genius exists inside all of us.
