Imaginarium

The IKS Dreamcatcher at Penn Hills Elementary is an immersive, interactive learning experience that teaches teamwork, critical thinking, and problem solving by blending science, technology, and engineering with social studies, humanities, and art.

In other words, it’s a real-life Magic School Bus.  It’s part simulator, part game, and part theater—and it creates an out-of-this-world experience!

The Dream Flight Adventures™ experience centers around an educational adventure that takes place in our full immersion simulator.  Students enter the simulator, work together to operate it, and go on incredible adventures.  They travel to outer space, under the sea, back in time, through the body—anywhere their imaginations take them!

Students become the captain and crew of the simulator and must work together to complete their missions, and their success or failure can depend on the action of a single person.

Missions are completely flexible and open-ended.  Players must think creatively, and each action can change the outcome of the mission.

The Imaginarium at Penn Hills Elementary is designed to ignite imaginations, blur the line between entertainment and education, and let dreams take flight.
