Explore the many ways humans connect and exchange ideas
Communication investigates all the ways we express ourselves: written, spoken, gestural, symbolic, electronic, digital and more, from totem poles to texts.
Explore the origins and history of human language and learn about the physics behind some of the technology we use today. See how our brains respond to words and sounds, learn some basic sign language, discover how photos are transmitted at the speed of light, and more.
We thank Verizon New Jersey for its generous support of Communication.
In Communication, young learners can learn about shapes and colors when they make a drawing at the graffiti wall. Click here to learn more about our LSC Junior program for kids 6 and under.
