Virtual Chicago Spotlight: Museum of Science and Industry

We know that many of our incoming and current UChicago students and affiliates are unable to explore Chicago at the moment. That’s why every Friday this summer, we will showcase a Chicago cultural icon. This week, it’s the Museum of Science and Industry, located one mile east of the UChicago campus in Hyde Park. ⠀

Take a tour of the MSI with Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot. ⠀ ⠀

“Highlights of our whirlwind trip include: exploring the transformation of energy using yoga balls, golf balls and rubber bands; learning about avalanches and tornadoes at the Science Storm exhibit; touring the Wanger Family Fab Lab to see 3D printers make masks and face shields; and watching the model trains make their way from downtown Chicago to Seattle.”⠀ ⠀
