Rodeo Gyro, a year long collaboration with Senior Mechanical Engineering students from Boise State University, College of Engineering, will surprise and delight visitors of all ages. The exhibit is an indication of what true collaboration in learning and education, science, math, technology, is able to provide for people of all ages, from all walks of life.
The project involves a full-body experience with a gyroscope. A flywheel with its shaft and drive motor is gimble-mounted on a platform that is free to rotate. The visitor’s weight as they sit on the motor-end of this ‘teeter-totter’ puts an upward force on the spinning flywheel. The gyroscopic resistance to this upward force causes the platform it’s mounted on to rotate. The platform rotates the opposite way when the visitor removes their weight.

The MK Nature Center is a sample of wild Idaho. The mountain stream with its logjams and waterfall, the wetlands pond circled with willows and cattails, and the high desert garden with sagebrush and other native plants represent major ecosystems in the state. Trout, whitefish, kokanee, ducks, geese, great blue herons, songbirds, and mink are just some of the wildlife that live here.
The Center is open from dawn to dusk, every day of the year. Although there is no admission fee, donations are gratefully accepted, and support many worthy Nature Center projects that might go unfunded otherwise. Donation boxes are located inside the Visitor Center and on the outside path.
The Nature Center opened in 1990 as a Boise City Celebrations Centennial gift to the State of Idaho. It was developed by the Idaho Department of Fish & Game, with help from volunteers and donations from private individuals and corporations, such as Morrison-Knudsen.
