One of our #NYSCIFaves — and a favorite of our visitors — is the colorful exhibit “Scattered Light” that greets you as you enter NYSCI. Artist Dick Esterle’s newest piece is designed specifically for the museum’s circular rotunda, and plays with space, light, color and perception as the piece changes along with the sun over the course of the day. Made with simple materials like paperclips and flagging tape, Scattered Light embraces the #maker spirit. Look up! Repost from @jeannepmeyer #nysci #scatteredlight
One of our #NYSCIFaves is seeing so many visitors having such a great time playing & learning at our brand new Bionic Me exhibit during school break! #SchoolsOutWeek #EngineeringWeek #nysci
