This exhibit focuses primarily on the history and development of corn as an organism throughout history. You will learn the role that genetic modification plays in the production of corn, who the scientists are that helped make it what it is today, and how present day scientists continually work to improve this staple of society.<\/p>\n<p>As you move through the exhibition you will have the opportunity to learn a little more about corn &#8211; popcorn specifically &#8211; by entering &#8220;The A-Maize-ing Popcorn ADVENTURE.&#8221; Through this popcorn-themed maze, you will learn about the history, production and nutrition of popcorn by encountering informational panels and interactive manipulates. &#8220;The A-Maize-ing Popcorn ADVENTURE&#8221; was developed by Purdue University Agriculture Exhibit Design Center.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re excited to bring these 2 closely-themed exhibitions to Science Central. While one is fairly technical and geared towards older students and adults, the other is fun and perfect for our younger visitors.&#8221; said Martin S. Fisher, Executive Director at Science Central.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Science Central<\/strong><br \/>\nScience Central, a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization, has provided a hands-on fun learning  environment for 20 years.
