In the darkened Exhibit Halls, the hum of 500 young voices fills the air. The voices emanate from sleeping bags scattered across the floor—under the watchful gaze ofTyrannosaurus rex, beneath the world’s largest Van de Graaff generator, next to a probability puzzle. Every once in a while, a chaperone overhears a bit of conversation from the excited children. They are discussing, in barely contained whispers, all they have seen and experienced this evening while at a Museum of Science overnight!
