The Kokomo-Howard County Public Library recently unveiled its new Discovery Center, a space dedicated to helping children explore the world of science, technology, engineering and math.

The Discovery Center is located in the children’s department at KHCPL Main. The space is filled with a mix of low-tech and high-tech games and activities such as hex bugs, coding robots, 3D pens and virtual reality. It caters to children between the ages of 8 and 13.

During open hours, children are encouraged to explore available technology. Open hours are from 4-6 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays when there are no conflicting children’s programs.

Activities are regularly planned in the Discovery Center. Activities may be focused on specific technology or on themes, such as the recent Pi Day activities on March 14.

Upcoming Discovery Center activities can be found on the calendar of events. For questions, please call 765-626-030 or email csd@khcpl.org.
