Struggling with the machine, trying to cope on my own. Dear children, please come fast and help me find the hidden facts! Warm up your brain cells – can you invent well? The exhibition includes different areas with different viewpoints into technology: essence of technology, stages of invention, values and relevance of technology, collaboration, Finnish inventions and changes that have taken place in technology in the long run.
