Walt Disney World's EPCOT features interesting exhibits of technology inside of Innoventions. The American Plastics Council provides an exciting 'robot race' where you can learn about the amazing properties of plastic and also produce your own plastic robot. The pieces for the robot are produced on site by a large automated plastic molding machine. Once you put it together it is yours to keep! I found cheap LED boards inside of coasters from IKEA.
