The Kamin Science Center is reopening its doors following the NFL Draft and unveiling its first exhibit as part of the Rapid Science Engagement Initiative, designed to get people talking about science topics that tend to be considered more controversial.

On Saturday, guests will get their first look at the “Our Place in a Changing Climate.” Through hands-on interactive activities, the exhibit shows how global shifts are impacting Western Pennsylvania.

Jennifer Lawrence, director of exhibitions at Kamin Science Center, said the exhibit’s goal is to provide a comfortable space where people can learn and talk about the impact of climate change.

“The exhibit is really unique because the topic was selected by the guests,” Lawrence said.

The Kamin Science Center, one of the four Carnegie Museums of Pittsburgh, put out a survey polling what topics the public would be most interested in learning about. Climate change won by a landslide, Lawrence said.

Located on the third floor of the museum, near the existing BodyWorks exhibit, the new exhibit will explore how increasingly intense rain events, regional flooding, hotter summers and shifting seasons are already impacting Pittsburgh’s rivers, neighborhoods and infrastructure.

“Our Place in a Changing Climate” is part of general admission to the museum, open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

The exhibit includes interactive features such as a landslide simulator, which is designed similar to an air hockey table, where guests can see what happens to an area when there is heavy rain and practice how to avoid a landslide by placing large rocks and dams on the table, said Megan McKenzie, a spokeswoman for Kamin Science Center.

McKenzie said there is also an audio-only section of the exhibit where guests can hear the climate change impact stories of residents from local neighborhoods.

The exhibit also has a large stretch of windows that overlook Pittsburgh’s rivers. On Wednesday, Lawrence said she was shopping for plants to add life to the space, based on NASA-recommended plants known for producing oxygen.

The Kamin Science Center also announced 20% off all new summer camp registrations from May 1 to May 10 for kids ages 4 to 14.
