Over 100 Discovery Cube Innovators and guests gathered at the Beckman Center on Wednesday, February 12th to explore the Science of Happiness. After enjoying a true “happy hour”, the audience moved into the auditorium to learn how happiness relates to the field of positive psychology, the habits of happy people, and, specific tools to create happiness and gratitude in our daily lives. As always, the learning was interactive, joyful and appealed to all senses. The Innovators are a group of lifelong learners who support the mission of Discovery Cube to Inspire, Educate and Impact the community through engaging science-based programs and exhibits.
