    AETN Public Media Center

    Amazing You!

    Presented by Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield

    Your body does amazing and complex work each and every day. Learn how healthy choices make healthy bodies as you explore the wonders of Amazing You. See how moving your body is fun and helps you stay healthy. How healthy is your dinner, how much energy do you need to perform a given activity, can you control your brain waves? Explore Amazing You and find the answers for yourself.

    Discovery Hall

    Math is a tool we use to describe the quantities, shape, space and patterns we observe in the world around us. Energy exists in many different forms and can be transferred from one form to another. Discovery Hall asks the questions and shapes the answers; how many is a million, what is harmony and what are force and energy?

    Earth Journeys

    Special geographic features make Arkansas unique. Explore these features as you walk over a large satellite-photo map that highlights the state’s major cities and geographic features. Extreme weather is common to Arkansas and is a growing problem associated with global climate change. Immerse yourself in the experience of extreme weather in “Tornado Alley Theater”. You will experience the sights and sounds of a tornado tearing past and hear the voices of several Little Rock residents affected by a tornado that hit the area in 1999.

    Great Hall

    Our new 6000 square foot lobby provides access off Clinton Avenue.  This beautiful new space showcases the Helix Wave, a kinetic sculpture by the renowned artist Reuben Margolin of Berkley, California.  Smaller interactive exhibits as well as comfortable seating are available in this space. With easy access to power for event lighting and sound, this is a beautiful space for gala events! Don’t forget to visit our Explore Store gift shop for unique gift ideas and souvenirs. 

    Room to Grow

    Our youngest visitors have a room of their own!  Children 6 and under and their caretakers can explore activities specifically targeted to their unique educational needs. They can use their imaginations in a creative hands on environment that focuses on wonder and learning, and parents will enjoy interacting with their child in a special place that’s just for them.

    Tinkering Studio

    The new Tinkering Studio will provide a place where visitors get to work in a collaborative environment and explore basic and advanced building techniques. All activities are hands-on, supervised and at least partly improvisational. Grand schemes, wild ideas, crazy notions and intuitive leaps of imagination are encouraged and fertilized. You have to experience it to understand the phenomenon that is Tinkering.

    The Tinkering Studio is open 3-5 pm
