VISIT WISTEC Looking for something to do with the whole family? Or some place special to take visitors from out-of-town? A unique and interesting spot for visitors and residents alike is WISTEC, the Willamette Science and Technology Center. WISTEC is a participatory science center, offering hands-on exhibits and science discovery activities for people of all ages. A bicycle gen erator measures your energy out put; a nutrition computer analy zes the value of your diet; an ophthalmologist’s instrument lets you measure your peripheral vision. There are experiments with lasers, light, sound, and mirrors; a hospital bed with all the trappings; an exhibit of mi crophotography; and much more. All of it is designed to make the principles of science accessible to both adults and children. wars HArPLNNC P.O.
