Invention Dimension
Many times, an interest in science and technology is fueled by a creative spark, driving a desire to invent the next big thing which will improve the lives of others and maybe, one day, change the world. The Invention Dimension was designed to kindle that spark. It is at once a gallery that showcases the ingenuity of past inventors and promotes the creative instincts of the next generation.
