This educational traveling exhibit, designed for all kids with an emphasis on STEM education for ages 3 to 12, illustrates science, technology, engineering and math through a one-of-a-kind visitor experience that lets kids Dream It! Build It! … and Ride It!
- Dream It! An “engineering lab” which includes lots of tracks, ramps and loops, motion and data-tracking software that captures multiple sets of test-run data, and a “freestyle” design area for physics experiments that echo your favorite skate park, half-pipe, downhill or roller coaster.
- Build it! A kid-sized Harley-Davidson® dealership with two customizable Road-King®-inspired motorcycles that lets you change the saddle bags, engine components, decals and more. Activities illustrate how engine systems, bike maintenance, protective gear and following the “rules of the road” can help ensure a smooth and safe ride around town—or around the globe.
- Ride it! Kids (and adults) can take a virtual ride using a first-person video that links to a realistic throttle with sound and other special effects.
A program Guide is available here.
Everyone is welcome to enjoy Hands-On Harley-Davidson for free — adults like it too.
