Play Inside a Solar Cell

Play this pinball-like game to see how solar cell technology works—it is the technology inside the solar arrays in our parking lot that create more than 100% of the electricity Discovery Museum uses! This exhibit is a fun, playful, no-tech way to explore how a solar cell works to create energy from sunlight.

This staff-conceived and designed exhibit was in development for more than a year, and was funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
