About the Event
Ribbon Cutting: The Science of Guinness World Records at MODS
Hosted for Surf Skate Science Students & Families
What does it take to become a world record breaker?
Past and present Surf Skate Science students and families are invited to a special ribbon cutting at the Museum of Discovery and Science for The Science of Guinness World Records, a limited-time interactive exhibit that opens at MODS on May 22 and runs through September 7, 2026. The exhibit explores how incredible, unusual, and record-breaking human feats are connected to real science — including biology, psychology, mechanics, focus, reflexes, endurance, and strength.
Students will get to step into a hands-on arena where they can test their reaction speed, concentration, memory, and physical performance through interactive challenges and live leaderboards. The exhibit includes areas that explore the origins of Guinness World Records, what qualifies as an official record, and how scientific principles help…
