This year, several new exhibits will be added to the roster, including a crash-simulator from the Connecticut State Police called the Convincer, which allows individuals over the age of 15 to safely experience a car crash at five miles per hour.

Returning exhibitors include the J.J. McCarthy Observatory and the Wilby Electrathon car, a car constructed by students at Wilby High School that runs entirely on electric power.
