My son loved last year's event...
FREE Fun for the Entire Family...
This festival of innovation, energy and creativity is FREE and fun for the whole family with hands-on, interactive activities celebrating science, technology, engineering, math and energy.
My son and I attended last year and were thrilled by everything that we experienced. It was like being at a science and technology version of the Detroit Auto Show! As you can tell from all my photos, we had a blast.
As part of the event last year, my son got to suit up and ride in one of the test cars and I was able to drive an electric vehicle on the roof of Cobo Hall. We also got a look at an imaginary Detroit in 2050, shaped by energy efficient innovation and we also take an imaginary walk with our tour guide along an oil rig on the Gulf Coast.
And our favorite experience was the MichelinSlow Motion Booth where we picked out props and filmed a slow motion video.
So if you want to experience fun like my son and I had, make sure to not miss the 10th annual Shell Eco-Marathon when it makes its way back to Detroit this weekend.
In addition to the science and technology fun, this year the event will feature special guest performances from Detroit's own "NUCLASSICA" and the "Selected of God" choir.
