Happy 33rd Birthday to PAC MAN from the Exploratorium! Today, four-person Team Pac-Man is an exhibit we’ve created here where each person controls one direction: up, down, left, and right—and only through sharing and cooperation can you win! To learn more about our Team Pac-Man exhibit in our new West Gallery (focusing on social behavior) look us up here: http://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/west-gallery/team-pac-man

Happy Bike to Work Day, San Francisco Bay Area!
How do you like our NEW bike? It’s a Camera Obscura Rickshaw Bicycle. With the help of a small pinhole, visitors take a ride in the back and see the world fly by, upside-down and projected on the walls inside the rickshaw.

From our new Bay Observatory visitors will uncover stories embedded in a place by directly observing the geography, history, and ecology of the San Francisco Bay region. Our Ship Tracker exhibit shows real-time positions and past journeys of nearly every large vessel on the Bay, including cargo ships, tankers, tugs, pilot boats, commuter ferries, and many large pleasure craft. The data—which comes from the computerized AIS ship-reporting systems—reveals the patterns of work and recreation on the Bay waters.
