Step into the world of The Questioneers, based on the series written by Andrea Beaty and illustrated by David Roberts. In this interactive exhibit, you can be an engineer like Rosie Revere, an architect like Iggy Peck, a scientist like Ada Twist, a leader like Sofia Valdez, and an artist like Aaron Slater.
Be a Questioneer
Questions are posed, challenges identified, and problem-solving begins in this new traveling exhibit! Get ready to find inspiration to solve everyday mysteries and to think more critically about the world with your favorite Questioneers characters.
LIKE ADA TWIST | Be a Scientist
Sort fiction from fact, investigate cause and effect, and why a clock goes “tick-tock” at hands-on investigation stations. Ask why? how? what? when? and then why? again and again from Ada’s special thinking chair.
LIKE ROSIE REVERE | Be an Engineer
Try and try again! Engineer rockets, test your flying (or falling) contraptions, and pilot a life-size Heli-o-cheese-copter! “Brilliant flops” lead to continued experimentation, inspiring creativity and perseverance.
LIKE IGGY PECK | Be an Architect
Build whimsical bridges, design buildings, and figure out how to construct a gigantic version of that famous pancake arch. Art, math, and science come together as young architects discover the balance between form and function.
LIKE SOFIA VALDEZ | Be a Leader
Explore how one person’s bravery can change the world, and declare to others how you intend to make a difference in your community. Advocate, imagine, and plan together to transform Mount Trashmore into Citizen’s Park.
LIKE AARON SLATER | Be an Artist
Aaron’s art leads the way and it helps him discover what he wants to say. His story about the power of art and finding your voice even when you’re out of step with your peers is a reminder that we each have our own superpowers and struggles. And that’s what makes us so unique and important to the world.
