THE SCIENCE OF SHARING

Are you competitive? Do you like to negotiate? How do you make decisions about sharing, helping, and collaborating with others? And how do scientists study these kinds of social interactions?

Questions like these are at the heart of the Exploratorium’s Science of Sharing exhibition.
The exhibits and the activities let visitors experiment with social interactions, play with strategies for working with others, and learn about the scientific study of human behaviour. 

We all face many critical challenges— energy crises, international conflict, ecosystem collapse, and climate change—that revolve around social perceptions, expectations, and interactions. Ultimately, Science of Sharing lets visitors reflect on the human element at the heart of some of the world’s most pressing problems.
