The Museum features six major components. The Mandell Center introduces technological wonders through a number of fascinating, hands-on exhibits. FutureEarth includes a 12-foot globe that depicts the effects of acid rain and the greenhouse effect. A simulated stream can be tested for water quality, and a realistic rain forest with real and artificial plants vividly demonstrates this important ecosystem. FutureMaterials highlights new ceramics, polymers and other materials.
Visitors levitate a magnet over a piece of superconducting material, and more.
The Future Careers Center features an interactive video that offers training requirements for the 21st century. And the Greenfield Cutting Edge Gallery displays new or near-future products. Unisystem , another Mandell Center feature, is an elaborate network of 42 PCs and 6 minicomputers. It's quite amazing. The entire Mandell Center is set within a 38,000 square foot garden.
