Innovation Center Mill of Knowledge (Toruń, Poland) is delighted to announce opening of a fourth permanent exhibition - "... it's so simple!". It allows visitors to become a scientist, designer and an inventor.
The exhibition includes 26 exhibits divided into four different zones: "Brainy", "Mechanical playground", "Techno World" and "Think, see, do." The exhibition theme is built around the computer game Tetris, where different building blocks harmoniously formed the display.
All zones are in different colors, so that visitors can easily assign a single exhibit to the particular area. Zones are designed to be spacious, allowing unrestricted access for people with disabilities.

Exhibits will be aimed at, among others, developing short-term memory, logical thinking, manual skills, understanding of the law of Pascal by using a special pump and raise the seat, getting to know the principles of Newton law of dynamics by moving discs of different weights and sizes. By throwing a dart visitors can converse potential energy into kinetic energy or the conversion of potential energy into electricity. Mechanical theater will allow to develop technical and motor skills. In section "man of the future" exhibits will allow to learn about the history and future of transplantation. In a special simulator visitors will be able to design a vehicle of the future and to drive it.
