Cause & Effect
This exhibit was designed to test how toddlers grasped cause and effect. The buttons (brightly colored squares) are near the floor to provide easy access. The green, yellow, and blue squares each activate the module behind it. The two orange squares both illuminate the display. Other activities can be seen below. You can see the drawings here and technical design here.
