A hands-on look at technology and the human condition

The Great Lakes Science Center's Super Human: Power of Technology exhibit invites visitors to consider how others have approached technology - and how they would approach it themselves.

On October 27, Clare Scott, managing editor and Eric Brothers, editor for GIE Media's Manufacturing Group of publications, had the opportunity to preview the newest exhibit at the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Super Human: Power of Technology explores the many ways technology has advanced the human condition and how it might further be developed. 

Super Human, through a series of hands-on, interactive stations, allows visitors to see how others have approached technology and asks them to consider how they might approach it themselves. Following is a photographic look at the exhibit, which is open to the public through April 26, 2026.
