Motor City Game Changers Community Free Day
What happens when you mix science, sports, and Detroit innovation? You get Motor City Game Changers — a free family event showcasing how science and innovation are transforming the way we play, compete, and push the limits of performance.
This exciting event is presented in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution’s Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation. In 2024, the Lemelson Center launched the Change Your Game exhibition at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, and now, they’ve teamed up with Mi-Sci to put a Detroit spin on sports innovation.
