Traveling to the Festival with young children? Be sure to visit our very own replica of the Magic School Bus featuring character actresses playing Ms. Frizzle. PBS Kids will also be at the Festival to thrill your budding scientists! And you cannot miss the 2012 National Robot Fest & DIY Expo located in Hall B! Our Meet the Scientists/Engineers in the Career Pavilion is a great place for high school students to explore various careers in science and engineering. Every hour students can conduct in-person interviews with scientists and engineers from different disciplines.
Our map legend makes it simple for you to explore the Festival with symbols for exhibits, stage shows, first aid stations, restrooms and numbers for our major exhibitors. You can also collect your "Festival Stamps" on the Expo Map. Collect stamps when you complete at least 10 exhibits from any of the thematic tracks and then visit the National Academics Exhibit to enter a prize drawing!
