Do you think only museums have cool lunar rover games, innovative 3D molding machines, and DIY recording stations? Not anymore. Best Buy is excited to showcase a new Experience in select stores starting in November. I had a chance to check it out at the Butterfield Rd Best Buy in Downers Grove, south west of Chicago this past weekend. Experience it vicariously in our full photo recap below, then go see it for yourself. We've also got a Chi, IL area Intel Experience in Gurnee, IL, north of the city.

While most (79%) of Americans are excited about the chance to learn and try out new technologies, half are frustrated by the lack of access to them beyond what they read or see in the media, according to a new study by Intel and Toluna.
That’s the reason why Intel and Best Buy are now teaming up to bring new Intel Technology Experience zones to 50 Best Buy stores in major markets across the U.S. The Intel Technology Experience lets customers – from tech enthusiasts to technophobes – play, explore, and be inspired by the power of technology with hands-on activities like 3D printing and virtual reality games. For many, this is the first opportunity to see, touch, and play with exciting new technologies they’ve only heard about.
My favorite exhibit was the 3D Cube. It's hypnotic to watch and the possibilities are exciting!
Averaging 240 square feet, the Intel Technology Experience will show customers the power of Intel: the technology behind these new, innovative activities is the same power behind the devices like tablets and laptops we love and rely on every day. Customers can build and print their own 3D robot, show off their racing skills on Mars in an augmented reality world, master beats and remix tracks by Ne-Yo as a digital DJ, and check out the latest PC and tablet devices powered by Intel processors.
The area will be staffed by specially trained Best Buy Blue Shirts to answer questions and help customers make the most of each area within the experience. Each season, Intel will refresh the venues with a new array of technology experiences.
