Activities included rotating through exhibits and educational programs, including live animal presentations, the "Lightning!" show at the Theater of Electricity, and a "Robot Roundup" in the Gordon Current Science and Technology Center. The itinerary also featured drop-in activities such as design challenges at the Engineering Design Workshop and exploration at the Biogen Foundation Exploration Hub.
