It’s time to flex some mental muscle! This guest-favorite features a collection of hands-on puzzles designed to develop problem-solving skills while providing plenty of fun.

Why do infectious diseases emerge where they do? What makes them spread so quickly? Where do we look for the next one? Our planet is connected more than ever before: by global travel, trade, technology - and as the current COVID-19 pandemic has shown us - even our viruses. Explore the connections between human, animal, environmental health and outbreaks; see how epidemic-fighters around the globe predict, track and fight epidemics; learn about past outbreaks that have affected the Greater Houston Area; and engage in games that challenge you to identify and contain an outbreak. This is a great opportunity to provide a context for understanding the current pandemic.
OUTBREAK: Epidemics in a Connected World was created by the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History
Using the bicycle as a point of reference, explore a variety of science and engineering topics at fourteen different science stations throughout this new exhibition.

The Hands That Feed Houston is a photo documentary created by Houston photographer, Amy Scott. This project celebrates the farmers and ranchers that feed Houston, a city of over 2.3 million, and the most racially and ethnically diverse city in the U.S. For the project, nine farmers and ranchers were selected to have their daily lives highlighted. Three days were spent with each individual, following their days and capturing the realities of food production on small and large scales. These photos tell their stories.
