Exhibits
Currently traveling around Mokena, SpaceLab occasionally tours exhibits that we've built on a month-to-month basis. Current exhibits out at other local institutions include an augmented reality sandbox and a holgraphic projection unit.
If this sounds like something you'd be interested in bringing to your institution, contact us to arrange a meeting to discuss your needs.
