MOSI Offers Special Event And Free Admission For Father's Day Weekend

In honor of Father’s Day, the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) is offering a special event for guests and their dads.

On June 18 from 9 a.m. to noon, MOSI is hosting “Rocketing with Dad.” Guests will be able to design and build chemically-powered rockets from scratch. For $35, ($26 for members) each two-person team will be constructing rockets made out of cardboard and plastic. They will also get launch them after they are made.

“This type of event offers a great bonding experience between children and their dads, ” said Adrienne Drew, media relations specialist at MOSI. “It’s something different and interactive, not just a typical Father’s Day lunch or dinner.”

In addition to the special event, MOSI is offering free admission to fathers on June 18 and 19 with the purchase of one full-priced admission ticket.

According to Drew, this is something MOSI tries to do for each holiday.

“MOSI typically offers special events and/or promotions for all major holidays, and we like to honor all of the important guests we get like moms, dads, veterans, etc.,” she said.

The Father’s Day event is the first of several programs that MOSI will be hosting in their new interactive playground, “Idea Zone.” Idea Zone opened on June 13 with MOSI’s Summer Science Camps. However, Father’s Day weekend is the first time that everyone is invited to participate in the “public programming” activities involved within the new exhibit.

“With Idea Zone opening, this type of event was the perfect event to host and get people excited about Idea Zone, while also providing different interactive activities that kids can enjoy with their dads,” Drew said.

This weekend,  the public programming activity is called “Robot Games.” Guests will go through various challenges while exploring the world of robotics. This is included in MOSI admission and free to museum members.

“These activities also gain feedback on the Idea Zone and help assist MOSI with the alpha testing phase,” Drew said. “These are the types of activities that will be offered going forward, but there will be much more once it is fully functional.”

According to Anthony Pelaez, MOSI’s director of Education, these workshops prepare for the official opening later this fall. After completion, MOSI’S Idea Zone will include a media studio, fabrication lab, simulation center and sciences lab.

One way to find all those ideas is to search on the thousands of websites. And to make it easier for you to find them, the ideas can be listed in one site that acts as ideas bank. But why bother? What are those ideas for anyway?

Ideas are very important in one’s societies. Inventions and businesses came from one simple idea and now, those are the ones who are keeping the economy alive. Unfortunately, there are many people out there who are hesitant to show the public what they got. It may involve reasons such as emotions, finances and timing that acts as hindrances. Developing an idea for a business is expensive as a matter of fact. But it doesn’t mean that you can’t do anything about it.

Do not worry! You’re prized possession will not be stolen. An entrepreneur always wants his idea to be successful because that’s the one he has passion for. A businessman also knows it’s illegal to take someone’s idea especially when it becomes very successful. So I have an advice, if you have an invention an outstanding idea, seek professional advice and apply for patent pending before approaching anyone.
