Recently, visitors to Arizona State University's Tempe campus can explore the newly opened Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Building IV (ISTB 4). This innovative space features the captivating Gallery of Scientific Exploration, with interactive exhibits designed to spark curiosity in science and engineering. Best of all, it's free and open to the public Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
