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.
