The Giant Slinky has arrived…

The new Giant Slinky exhibit stretches some 8 meters along the main gallery of the Gravity Discovery Centre. This literally IS a giant slinky, based on a similar exhibit at the world class Exploratorium science education centre in San Francisco, USA. The slinky has been designed and constructed onsite by AIGO senior technician, Mark Dickinson. Visitors can interact with the slinky by creating various types of wave motion, reflection and interference. The slinky is both spectacular and educational.
