How People Make Things celebrates the people, the manufacturing processes and the technology used to make everyday objects in our world. It tells the story of how familiar childhood objects are made and how people, ideas, and technology transform raw materials into finished products. Kids can try firsthand the tools and processes used to make every day objects in an immersive play factory environment.

Come along for an immersive experience into the Flint Hills. Learn about the geological features of the Flint Hills, observe the native plant species, and see how fire helps contribute to the management of this ecosystem. Thanks to the Flint Hills Discovery Center Foundation, we will be transporting visitors in our new 15-passenger van from the Discovery Center to the Konza Prairie Biological Station.
