DETROIT – The Michigan Science Center will soon become the fifth location in the country for Spark!Lab, a new educational, interactive space, thanks to a partnership with the Smithsonian Institute and support from the Ford Motor Company Fund.
Developed in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation, Spark!Lab provides visitors with the opportunity to become inventors as they explore and engage with hands-on activities, interact with facilitators, and learn from local innovators.
Spark!Lab demonstrates the fundamental role invention plays in the world. It also supports the creative process, collaborative thinking, and problem solving, all important aspects that power innovation and entrepreneurship.
On March 31, the Spark!Lab ribbon-cutting ceremony will feature a number of speakers, including:
Arthur Daemmrich, director, Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation
Jim Holland, vice president of Vehicle Component and System Engineering, Ford Motor Company
MITechNews.Com Editor Mike Brennan will attend and report on this exciting new initiative on April 1. No fooling.
