Problems can often seem so large and overwhelming that we don’t even know how to begin to think about solving them. But it’s possible that some big problems could be addressed by small innovations—both in the ways we conceptualize the world and in how we implement changes. From discussions of bullying in the work-place to the challenges of traffic congestion, from how to address the global environmental crisis to the meaning of life itself, the DHC welcomes guests who have thought about the challenges of the big and the small—and have some thoughts on how we might move forward.
Arrive early to interact with a laser, learn about chaos theory, play strangely scaled games, and solve big and small problems in our hands-on gallery.
