Gear up and strap in because math is about to go off the rails at Orlando Science Center! In 2TheXtreme, the only limit is you, so let’s see how far you can go. In this interactive traveling exhibit, guests will go head-to-head in sports, set the stage for creativity, design the unthinkable, and explore worlds far beyond their own backyard, all while using the power of mathematics!
Join the Botz, your animated pit crew, as they hand over the magical math goggles, allowing you to see where all the action STEMs from! Each Bot specializes in a specific skill set designed to help you accomplish each challenge. With the right number of tools and witty personalities, they’ll push you one step closer to the ultimate goal of being the master of math!
Whether you’re shredding the half-pipe, committing to the ollie, or racing your friends down a snowy hill, having math up your sleeve can be the difference between wiping out and sticking the landing. In Ramp It Up, create your own virtual skateboard and manipulate variables such as wheel size and board length to see how they affect your tricks. Take your skills to a snowier environment in Boardercross as you learn about angles while racing down the mountain on your virtual snowboard by pivoting and torquing your body to beat everyone to the finish line.
Strike a pose and groove to the beat in Style Revolution and Mix It Up! Use freeze-motion technology used in movies to capture your pose from every angle. Explore the inverse relationship between the number and size of the camera’s angles while getting ready for your close-up. Become a music producer and interact with giant instruments to create sounds while learning the mathematics behind rhythm, pitch, and frequency. Create the soundtrack that gets people dancing!
Let your imagination take you to new heights, whether that's exploring the weather in your own backyard or learning about life on Mars. In each of these very different environments, learn how to collect data in real-time to create your own weather forecast or navigate different terrains on another planet. Discover how to use amazing technology to help learn about the world around us!
Math isn’t just behind all the action – it IS the action! From kickflips to photo shoots, skyscrapers to snowboards, math makes it possible. So grab your gear, pick your challenge, and go 2TheXtreme.
