Technology fills every day of our lives. At Innovation Station visitors can experience the excitement of invention as they explore technology in a whole new way. Then, they can even invent something incredible themselves. Innovation Station allows visitors to try their skills at programming a robot, building an aqueduct to bring water to a model town, or designing their own flying machines. Visitors can also step inside the Inventors Ball Room and build their own crazy contraptions to send balls whizzing, flying, and bouncing all around, or compare their own hands to the fast, precise moves of two giant robot arms. Finally, they can climb high above everything on OMSI's new suspension bridge and get a whole new view of the exhibits below.
