Immaturity is NOT a four-letter word – literally and metaphorically. In fact, the Children’s Museum of Houston is out to prove that immaturity and genius go hand in hand. Based on KLUTZ® Encyclopedia of Immaturity Vol. 1 and 2, the KLUTZ® Amazingly Immature exhibit will offer you the opportunity to embrace your inner zany genius while exploring what these behaviors can teach you about science, engineering, math, and literacy.  Produced by the Children’s Museum of Houston in partnership with KLUTZ®

With activities such as pulling a tablecloth out from under a place setting to learn about inertia, building a boomerang as an introduction to elements of aerodynamics, and folding paper rings to explore geometry, KLUTZ® Amazingly Immature will create an environment which encourages multi-generational communication and learning through laughter, play, comedy and memories of different generations’ childhood hijinks.

Immaturity doesn’t reign in this exhibit; it pours! Amazingly Immature will offer kids not only the opportunity to be immature, but also allow them to explore what these behaviors teach us about literacy, science, mathematics, physical education, engineering, and much more while training them to hone their immaturity skills and talents.

Further, the exhibit will encourage intergenerational dialogue as adults engage in moments of nostalgia when encountering behaviors in which they may have participated (even if they are unwilling to admit it). Based on the Klutz® Encyclopedias of Immaturity Volumes 1 and 2, the exhibit is divided into activity tables focused around different immature categories that make visitors feel like they’re walking through the pages of Klutz® books. The amount of laughter is the best measure of this exhibit’s success!

Amazingly Immature consists of 10 unique project tables, two towers, and a giant arch, each with an activity directly inspired by the Klutz® Encyclopedias of Immaturity. In addition to these 14 activities, there are also 6 bonus Immaturity To Go activities that visitors can try at home. Plus, since there is always room for a little more immaturity, there are areas dedicated to Immature Inventions, Immature Mailings, Immature Makings, and Immature Inspirations to help foster ideas for kids to try beyond the exhibit experience.
