The Discovery Center at Murfree Spring opens its newest traveling exhibit, Thomas Edison’s Secret Lab Saturday, September 14. This new exhibit brings science and fun together, offering interactive STEM activities for all ages and runs until January 12.
Created by the Betty Brinn Children’s Museum in collaboration with Genius Brands International, Inc., this immersive and educational exhibit is inspired by Genius Brands’ popular animated series.

We hope this exhibit will not only be a hit with our visitors but also serve as an educational tool that encourages a lifelong interest in STEM fields.”
The exhibit features characters from the animated series, including Thomas Edison and his group of friends, as they tackle various scientific challenges and solve problems using different scientific principles. Featuring Next Generation Science Standards and other curriculum-based guidelines, visitors will have the chance to operate classic six simple machines, explore a giant interactive periodic table of elements, delve into the basics of coding and more.
