Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibits in US

Post by donleow » Wed Apr 12, 2006 12:19 pm

The Force.net is currently running an extensive feature on the Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit which will be held across 7 states in United States through a period starting from June 2006 to October 2008..more details are available below the URL for the tour.


AT A GLANCE

Midwest Premiere June 3rd,2006 through September 4, 2006 at COSI Columbus Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination explores the fantasy technologies in the Star Wars films, the science behind them, and current research that may lead to real-life versions of these technologies. Museum-goers learn how technologies work in the Star Wars universe through film clips and over 80 props, models and costumes. Visitors will discover how ideas become technologies in real life through hands-on exhibits, immersive experiences, and cutting edge innovations. The exhibit culminates in two multi-station Engineering Design Labs where visitors design, build and test solutions to challenges.

MAJOR THEMES

The exhibition is organized around two technology themes, solving basic human needs: getting around (transportation) and getting along with ever smarter machines (robotics): “Getting Around� After examining Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder and other floating vehicles from Star Wars, visitors find out how things move without touching the ground in the r! eal world, from models of flying cars to commercial spaceplanes. “Robots and People� Visitors meet C-3PO and R2-D2 and explore how people relate to the robots in Star Wars. The exhibition also features the creation of real world robots that navigate, sense and understand the world around them, while communicating in increasingly sophisticated ways.
