Today, we’re diving headfirst into the exciting world of science, technology, engineering, and math – or STEM, as the cool kids call it – right here in our own backyard. We’re joined by the awesome Taylor U’Sellis, the Senior Manager of Marketing & Communications at the one and only Kentucky Science Center. Taylor, thanks a bunch for being here!

We’re super stoked to have you on the show because you’re gonna give us a sneak peek at all the cool exhibits happening at the science center. So, Taylor, spill the beans! What’s the Kentucky Science Center all about, and what kind of epic adventures await those who dare to enter?

Kentucky Science Center: A Playground for Curious Minds

Well, at the Kentucky Science Center, we’re all about sparking that love for learning in everyone, from the littlest scientists to the young at heart. We want to break down those walls that make science seem intimidating and show people that it’s not just about textbooks and beakers – it’s about exploring the world around us and having a blast while we’re at it.

Exhibit Highlights: Get Ready to Explore!

World of the Body: The Remarkable You

Hold onto your hats, folks, because this exhibit is gonna blow your mind! World of the Body takes you on a wild ride through the human body, but we’re not talking about your boring old anatomy charts here. You’ll get to shrink down to the size of a cell and explore the circulatory system like a rollercoaster, learn how your muscles work by testing your strength against a virtual arm wrestler, and even see real human organs up close and personal. It’s kinda gross, kinda cool, and totally unforgettable!

This exhibit is perfect for kids of all ages who are curious about how their bodies work, and it’s a fantastic tool for visual and kinesthetic learners. Plus, it’s a great way to spark some interesting dinner table conversations – just sayin’.

Science in Play: Where Imagination Runs Wild

Alright, parents and caregivers, this one’s for you (and the little humans you wrangle!). Science in Play is like a giant, interactive playground where kids can unleash their inner Einsteins. We’re talkin’ building towers outta giant blocks, designing race cars, creating masterpieces in the art studio – you name it, they can do it! This exhibit is all about learning through play, and trust me, your kids wont even realize they’re absorbíng knowledge like little sponges.

This exhibit is designed for our youngest scientists, from toddlers to around age seven, but let’s be real, who doesn’t love playing with giant blocks and bubbles? It’s a fantastic way to introduce STEM concepts early on and show kids that learning can be seriously fun. Plus, it gives parents a much-needed break – we see you, we got you.
