About this Gallery
My Digital World, a newly renovated gallery at Arizona Science Center, is designed to introduce visitors to the science behind digital communications, how they work, and how they are utilized to create and share ideas and information.
We live in a world full of digital cameras, cellular phones, home computers, DVD players, wireless handhelds and other electronic gadgets that enable us to share messages, ideas, music and images whenever we want at the touch of a button.
These technologies and tools are increasingly integrated into everyday life and, when used to their full potential, can enhance and improve our quality of life, the connections to our communities and the world around us.
Stop by and explore the world of digital communication in a hands-on way, without hearing “If you break it—you buy it” and explore the future face of everything digital!

What's Happening in My Digital World
BioTech Talk Series:
The Biotech Talk series was made possible through a five-year Science Education Partnership Award (SEPA) from the National Center for Research Resources at the National Institutes of Health. This program will give students and the general public a glimpse into the human body, its parts and processes, and new advances in biomedical research and technology.
Biotech Talks are informal dialogues about current topics in biotechnology & medicine. For adults, this series brings together leaders in science and engineering with members of the community to discuss how biotechnology and medicine and changing the present and future. These informal discussions and free to the public and will give guests the opportunity to ask questions and raise concerns related to each session topic.
