Step inside a mock clean room and become an engineer for the day. Suit up in protective gear, then use graphite pencils to draw patterns that can conduct electricity. Connect your design to electrodes to complete a circuit and see your creation come to life. This interactive game will offer you a glimpse into how scientists work in ultra-clean environments to make the tiny technologies that power our world – all while you’re having fun with science and creativity.

Please note that at busy times, visitors may need to wait for the activity, and we reserve the right to pause entry temporarily if maximum room capacity is reached.
