The present invention proposes the creation of a new class of business which offers an alternative for parents who wish to efficiently provide their children with simultaneous immersion in a S.T.E.A.M. (Science Technology Engineering Arts Math) themed environment while engaging in interactive, captivating play and extensive exercise. This patent proposes the creation of centers enabled by the use of exercise stations(s) powered by children to create interactive motion of objects with a S.T.E.A.M. theme, allowing an efficient and simultaneous means to educate, exercise and entertain children. In the preferred embodiment, these exercise stations are powered by children to raise various illuminated balls, which in turn will travel down various clear tubes or open tracks, creating the appearance of moving stellar objects such as comets, shooting stars and/or planets. This is a new class of business where ALL exhibits will combine exercise, S.T.E.A.M. education and entertainment. The business offers parents a very attractive alternative to current children centers and can be monetized in numerous ways.

The key feature of this patent is the use of children-powered exercise stations which convert children's kinetic energy into a variety of electrical, electromechanical or mechanical motion which in turn drive S.T.E.A.M. themed elements such as the lifting of galactic-looking balls which then travel down various clear tubes or open tracks, creating the appearance of moving stellar objects such as comets, shooting stars and/or planets. The exercise stations can alternatively drive any S.T.E.A.M. themed device such as Van Der Graph machines, Jacob's Ladders or Tesla coils.

These exercise stations enable children to simultaneously exercise, enjoy healthy entertainment, and experience deep immersion in S.T.E.A.M., inspiring them to become further involved in science and technology. The centers create a unique offering which provides a very time-efficient and cost-effective alternative for children to exercise, have fun, and most importantly gain a lasting passion for S.T.E.A.M. One fundamental goal of this patent is to simply give children the gift of awe with respect to S.T.E.A.M. A second fundamental goal is to provide healthy exercise simultaneously with the first goal.
