  Mindworks is a one-of-a-kind working laboratory and interactive discovery center run by the University of Chicago. During this CTPA program, Mindworks staff will provide an overview of their unique center, tour us through all of their exhibits, and give us the opportunity to take a short behavioral science study. Located in the spectacular Railway Exchange Building, Mindworks staff will also take us on mini-tours of the historic atrium and the incredible rooftop penthouse. Attendees will also be getting swag bags!

  
  

  Structured parking is available across Michigan Avenue in the Millennium Garage. If you can no longer attend the event, please cancel your own registration on the calendar tab of the CTPA website or through the WildApricot app. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mike McMains (mike@tourswithmike.com).

  
  

  I hope you can join us at Mindworks and discover how you can incorporate this one-of-a-kind attraction into your tour experiences!
