Lions, tigers, and STEM, oh my!
Get ready to head off the beaten path with STEM in the Wild, our newest exhibit where science meets the wild. This isn’t your average trip to the zoo—explore the world of biomimicry, where nature’s unique adaptations inspire real-world solutions to human challenges. See how engineers take cues from animals covered in fur, feathers, and scales to design technology that makes our world better!
