Ever wonder what’s happening in your head? The Ontario Science Centre launches MindWorks, a new hands-on, bodies-on psychology travelling exhibition.

MindWorks brings ideas like decision-making, memory and emotions to life through playful, interactive exhibits.

Researched, designed and fabricated by the Ontario Science Centre, MindWorks lets visitors explore and learn through a fully immersive experience—from writing a song with building blocks to understanding personality traits. They can try their negotiation skills to play the world’s largest Pac-Man game, engage in critical thinking as they squeeze through unusual shapes and explore consciousness with help from a humanoid robot.

In this age of technology and instant communications, MindWorks is designed to keep visitors in the moment. Through carefully crafted reflection questions, the exhibition asks visitors to step back and look at thought processes they take for granted. Whether they’re comparing risks and rewards, pondering their dreams or creating a digital painting, visitors will discover the remarkable power of their minds.

This exhibition is designed to be a conversation starter for visitors of all ages on topics such as understanding perception, making choices and exploring emotions.
