The new exhibit is focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and will put the spotlight on Earth\u2019s layers, or spheres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a great new exhibit that helps us learn more about this place we call home,\u201d explains Ed Shaffer, general manager for WonderWorks in Pigeon Forge. \u201cWe loved that the public helped us to create the name of the new exhibit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The exhibit will focus on the four layers, or spheres, that the Earth has. These include the lithosphere (or geosphere), hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere. Those who visit the exhibit can can read about the spheres, see images and watch a 3D hologram high-definition video that does not require any special glasses. The video provides a visual explanation of the layers and how they interact, to enhance the experience.<\/p>\n<p>STEM education, according to the National Inventors Hall of Fame, focuses on teaching children real-world applications that help develop a variety of skill sets. Some of the skills children gain through STEM education include technology literacy, problem-solving, creativity, curiosity, critical thinking and being innovative. Finding ways to introduce them to STEM topics in a fun way can help to get them more interested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur mission is to help make learning fun for everyone,\u201d added Shaffer. \u201cWith this exhibit we are helping people learn some STEM topics in a fun and memorable atmosphere. It\u2019s very exciting!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To choose the name for the new poll, WonderWorks held a poll asking people to choose from three names. Employees and social media users weighed in, with the following being the outcome of the exhibit name poll: Sphere We Go! is the official new name of the exhibit.<\/p>\n<p>A. Sphere We Go! \u2013 51% of the vote<br \/>\nB. Get Outta Sphere! \u2013 38%<br \/>\nC. Sphere Not These Earthly Layers! \u2013 11%<\/p>\n<p>While this was the inaugural year for the art contest, it will be held annually, with submissions being accepted each fall. In addition to the SM-Art Art Contest, WonderWorks Pigeon Forge offers homeschool days, virtual learning labs, and more.
