The Discovery Room

Questions are Better than Answers

The Sternberg Discovery Room exists to enable visitors to personally
experience the process of discovery and hands-on learning. With real
specimens (largely focusing on the Great Plains) and basic
information as the foundation, the Discovery Room provides
freedom for individuals to formulate and pursue their own
questions, as well as suggesting directions of inquiry for
subjects or visitors requiring more structure. The
outcome desired above all others is that visitors
place increased value on the process of
discovery throughout their lives.
