The CollectED Battery Recycling Initiative exhibition is an energy-filled experience featuring four hands-on sections that explain battery basics, how they’re made, what they’re made of, where they’re found, and what happens when they no longer work for us. It shares how and why we should recycle our old batteries through interactive activities like the Battery Bar and electron-earning quizzes.

Climate Change

In the climate exhibits you’ll learn about the framework, play some games, and leave with a good dose of hope that Minnesotans can find solutions to climate change. The exhibit covers how Minnesota is getting warmer and wetter due to human activities that add heat-trapping gasses to the atmosphere.
