Opportunity Description
http://invention.smithsonian.org/centerpieces/sparklab/index.html
About Spark!Lab Everybody can envision the Eureka! moment of invention, where the idea suddenly strikes and BOOM there's a new product ready to change the world. Spark!Lab, the newest hands on space for families and others visiting the National Museum of American History, shows the real story behind an inventor's work. Invention is a process, from creative ideas all the way to successful marketing, and the Lemelson Center's Spark!Lab uses fun activities to help kids and families learn about the history and process of invention. You can play games, conduct science experiments, explore inventors' notebooks, and even invent!
