New opportunity for Summer 2026!
Stability Tester for Mobilab – A new experience is coming to Discovery World this summer: Mobilab! Mobilab is a hands-on lab where young explorers use trial and error to design and build their own mini cars using modular pieces. Get ready to craft different toy vehicles and put them through some wild challenges. Tinker, test, and tweak until your creation zooms just the way you like it!
We are looking for volunteers to add to the Mobilab experience. Volunteers will be facilitating an activity about stability near the Mobilab exhibit. Use identical water bottles filled with various levels of water to discuss centers of gravity, helping guests make hypotheses and use logical thinking. Guests can then take the knowledge they’ve gained from the activity to improve their vehicles in Mobilab!
