Building Big Ideas highlights the wonderful world of engineering at 辛辛那提博物馆中心
Take on design challenges, meet experts and get up close with construction equipment May 6
CINCINNATI – While cranes and crews are busy outside 结合终端, 辛辛那提博物馆中心 (CMC) is building something big inside. CMC is inviting budding builders, designers and dreamers to explore the worlds of construction and engineering at Building Big Ideas May 6. 
Whether your child loves backhoes and bulldozers, is fascinated by taking things apart or marvels at superstructures like skyscrapers and bridges, Building Big Ideas is ready to fuel that passion with building and design challenges. Aspiring architects can also meet and greets with experts in their fields and get a firsthand look at how the man-made world around them is built.
Building Big Ideas is too big to contain in just one room, or even one museum. 毕竟，这些想法是宏大的. Experts from around the community will be sharing their expertise and leading activities throughout the 杜克能源儿童博物馆, the lower level and Rotunda lobbies, even the parking lot outside.
As you make your way from the parking lot to the building, stop and visit with 特纳建筑公司 for a chance to see pieces of heavy construction equipment up close. Inside the Rotunda lobby, explore a 3D model created by 吉毕碧恩建筑师 that is helping them restore 结合终端. Try on virtual reality goggles to go inside the walls of the National Historic Landmark.
Head down toward the 杜克能源儿童博物馆 to catch a glimpse of some of the newest technology in engineering courtesy of 泽维尔大学美国工程师协会. Engineers will help you design the strongest bridge, grade roadways and excavate hillsides. LEGO bricks come in handy to demonstrate how historic buildings are put back together, with LEGO bricks serving as the brick and mortar.
Experiment with traditional and unconventional building materials as you erect a spaghetti and marshmallow skyscraper, build a bridge using only straws or LEGO bricks, rebuild a wall using brick and mortar, mix and pour plaster and even control tiny robots while exploring the basics of coding. 如果这还不够的话, design a catapult and test its might by launching projectiles against a tall tower.
After a temporary closure to accommodate construction activity, the 杜克能源儿童博物馆 is reopening May 4. Building Big Ideas will cap off a weekend celebrating the reopening of the 杜克能源儿童博物馆.
Building Big Ideas is free for CMC Members or is included with admission to the 杜克能源儿童博物馆. 欲知详情，请浏览 devilledistribution.com/childrensmuseum.
