Give your kids an experience with the technology that will power their future jobs at our Future STEM Technology Playground! Kids and their families are invited to hang in the Cobble Hill makerspace and experience some of our amazing new technology like virtual reality, holograms, drones and more.
NEW: FDNY will be showing off their brand new drone! Equipped with an HD camera and FLIR thermal vision technology, this fire-fighting drone has an unlimited flight time and can fly up to 200 feet high to help with high-angle operations and even rescue.  Meet the FDNY drone pilot, see the drone in action, and learn why this new tech is so important!
