Meet Shadow Remix: Mix Light, Color and Your Shadow

Sep 2, 2026

What happens when light, color and movement come together? At the Schroeder Family Exploreum’s Shadow Remix, your shadow becomes part of the experiment.

Using different colored light sources, Shadow Remix lets you move, play and discover how light interacts with objects. Step in front of the lights, change your position or add a friend and watch as colorful shadows shift, overlap and transform.

The STEAM Behind Your Shadow

Shadow Remix combines science, technology and art in one hands-on experience. As you play, you’re exploring how light travels, how shadows form and how different colors of light interact.

Try moving closer to the light. Then farther away. What changes? What happens when two shadows overlap?

That’s STEAM learning in action: observe, experiment and discover.

Shadow Remix is one of 28 hands-on exhibits currently open in the Exploreum’s North Wing, with two more exhibits coming soon and updates continuing across some of our current experiences.

And we’re just getting started! The Exploreum is currently raising funds through our Capital Campaign to complete the rest of the Exploreum, with the goal of opening in 2027 and bringing even more opportunities for hands-on STEAM learning to our community.

Come meet Shadow Remix and see what you can create with a little light, color and curiosity.

Keep looking. Keep asking. Keep exploring.
