16 – 1Students Saving The World Through Science

exhibit will give guests a first-hand look into the technology and teamwork that goes into a rescue mission.

How does a helicopter pilot spot someone on the ground during a helicopter rescue? Climb aboard a life-size helicopter and choose to fly a simulator or use the infrared camera to search for heat signatures far away!

Did you know that different kinds of fires require different fire extinguishers? With the “Fight the Fire” experience, visitors are faced with four different fire extinguishers and must choose the correct one to put out the simulated fire. This exhibit will show you how science and technology are used to help save lives every day. When a disaster strikes, the media play a crucial role in informing the public. You’ve been cast as a reporter! Step in front of the camera and watch as chromakey technology relays the vision onto a monitor so friends and family can watch the news program come together.

Whether you’re an anchor breaking the news of a disaster, or part of search and rescue mission, there is no “I” in “TEAM”! Heroes-in-training will experience how vital teamwork and communication are in unpredictable scenarios.

Rappel into Orlando Science Center to put your skills to the test and see if you have what it takes to be a hero!
