MCM’s science, technology, and industry gallery, World at Work, allows visitors to explore the primary careers and industries that are vital to Mississippi’s economy while trying out different STEAM concepts and ideas. This gallery enables children to discover different career possibilities in Mississippi including agriculture and farming, transportation, the development of energy sources, manufacturing, construction, forestry, and engineering. Exhibits engage visitors through role-playing to work together to investigate, create, and test ideas.
