In the immersive DC environment, visitors will explore the Hall of Justice, investigate robberies in Gotham City, hone Super Hero skills in the S.T.A.R. Labs, and more.
Along the way DC Super Heroes Cyborg, Aquaman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Supergirl, and Batgirl will make appearances.
“This exhibit is a great way to connect science and DC Super Heroes as guests learn more about teamwork and problem-solving through the lens of well-loved and well-known characters,” Dr. Frederic Bertley, president and CEO of COSI, said in a news release. “Teamwork and problem-solving are key skill sets in STEM careers of all types and this exhibit is a fantastic way to learn and develop new skills.”
