Living on the Edge Exhibit Bring your friends and family to the Coastal Institute Visitor Center to see the interactive coastal exhibit called Living on the Edge. Plan to spend about thirty minutes enjoying this interactive science exhibit, similar to a smaller room at the Museum of Science in Boston. Enjoy an introductory video, computer activities, a stream table, and dune machine in this exhibit which is suitable for adults and children of all ages. Living on the Edge is a 1,500 square-foot interactive science exhibit created by URI's Office of Marine Programs and the Museum of Science, Boston. Primary funding for the exhibit was provided by the National Science Foundation. Housed on URI's Narragansett Bay Campus in the Coastal Institute Visitor Center, the exhibit is FREE and open to the public and groups. Group preregistration is required. |
