Tech Track.

Permanent Exhibit

Tech Track.

Begin your MOXI adventure in Tech Track, where art, technology, and wonder collide. Make your mark on the giant glowing Sheldon Family Handprint Globe to see thermal imaging playfully come to life. See spinning sculptures made from bike wheels climb two stories high, transforming simple LED lights into colorful animations that respond to your movement. Get inspired at the Innovation Wall, celebrating local makers, innovators, and ongoing projects in MOXI’s Innovation Workshop. From your first handprint, this is where inspiration starts.
