There has never been a greater need for science than today, and it is crucial that our community works together to introduce children to science at a young age. Why do you think it’s important to connect kids with interactive science experiences? Whether guests are climbing aboard a replica of a Great Lakes Schooner known as The Challenge, controlling the weather and discovering the flora and fauna of the Great Lakes Future, or exploring hyper-real VR environments through the “MilliporeSigma Virtual Explorer,” there is no shortage of exhibit experiences on Milwaukee’s lakefront.Ĥ. Our unique, hands-on exhibits focus on technology and freshwater sciences, and can be experienced throughout our 130,000-square-foot facility. Give us an overview of the exhibits at Discovery World. I work with talented educators, designers and content experts to find creative ways to engage our guests in experiences that help them explore the world around them.ģ.

We also offer our award-winning Summer Camp, field trip programs, community partnership programs and learning experiences aboard Discovery World’s tall ship, the S/V Denis Sullivan. Please explain what Discovery World does and its mission.ĭiscovery World is Wisconsin’s largest science museum, featuring interactive exhibits, the Reiman Aquarium, educational labs and programs, and a multitude of exciting activities for all ages. We sat down with Bryan Wunar, president and CEO of Discovery World, to highlight the impact Discovery World is making on visitors of all ages and the communities throughout Wisconsin.ġ. Through multiple delivery platforms, these programs, which include virtual exhibit tours, activity kits, virtual lab programs and equipment loans, will be offered at no cost to under-resourced schools. We are also supporting Discovery World’s newly created virtual school programs to respond to community needs during the pandemic.
These VR educational resources will also be connected to summer school and classroom programming.
Now, we’re helping Discovery World expand this VR exhibit to include new infrastructure that accommodates increased visitor demand and additional workstations. We supported the development of the "MilliporeSigma Virtual Explorer," an exhibit that allows visitors to easily explore various science concepts using virtual reality (VR) equipment. Since 2012, we have partnered with Discovery World, a fully interactive museum in Milwaukee that is focused on connecting innovation, science, technology and the environment.
