Artificial Intelligence

Is a Machine Smarter than You?

As our world continues to advance in the next frontier of technological innovation is AI (Artificial Intelligence). How does it work? What can it do? Is it safe? It seems we have more questions than answers. Here at Catawba Science Center we strive to be a local hub of information, education, and discovery. In November of 2024 we held a forum with many of the top names in the AI business, including the Microsoft Data & AI Executive Director, Johanson Sandrasagra. His keynote and our guest speakers, from Corning, CVCC, and the NC deptartment of Public Instruction gave us an inside look at how AI is shaping the world in business and education.

We love the Science Center! I take my 2 and 4 year old boys weekly to play and enjoy the exhibits. The staff are wonderful and the classes offered are excellent! We are so blessed to have such an amazing resource in our area.

This place was great. We have kids from 8 to 1 and they all had a great time. What I really liked is most of the exhibits are hands on and that really kept them occupied.

Took the kiddos and they loved it. Employees were nice and helpful. If your looking for something to do with the kids give this place a shot.

Fabulous and I don’t often give praise. We took our grandson and were there for hours. He loved it and so did we.
