The Independence Seaport Museum will create "Boat Building: Art and Science," a 3,000-square foot permanent exhibit that is designed to educate visitors about the science of boat building and design. Concepts such as buoyancy, water displacement, turbulence and drag will be explored through interactives, maritime artifacts, models and oral histories of tradesmen. By using the principles identified by the Family Science Learning Research Project of the Philadelphia/Camden Informal Science Education Collaborative (PISEC), the exhibit will be user-friendly for families with young children. Visitor workstation topics may include boat building, floating, buoyancy, sails, wind and boat shape. Visitors will use science processes while learning through open-ended play and exploration. Creative programs for families and school groups, as well as curriculum materials will support the exhibit. A website and technical training manual will also be produced. Four phases of evaluation are planned, and include front-end analysis which will incorporate focus groups with children ages 7-12, and formative evaluation using prototypes of interactives. Remedial evaluation will be carried out once the exhibit opens, and summative evaluation will use tracking and exit interviews to assess learning and understanding. The estimated annual audience of over 130,000 visitors will be expanded by replicating and traveling various components to other maritime museums in partnership with the Association of Science and Technology Centers. Evaluation of traveling components will also be undertaken to determine if they present an appropriate model for maritime-based exhibits.

独立海港博物馆将创建“造船：艺术与科学”，这是一个3,000平方英尺的永久性展览，旨在教育游客有关造船和设计的科学。 浮力、排水量、湍流和阻力等概念将通过互动、海洋文物、模型和商人的口述历史进行探索。 通过使用费城/卡姆登非正式科学教育合作组织（PISEC）的家庭科学学习研究项目确定的原则，展览将对有幼儿的家庭用户友好。 游客工作站的主题可能包括造船，浮动，浮力，帆，风和船的形状。 参观者将在通过开放式游戏和探索学习的同时使用科学过程。 为家庭和学校团体提供的创意节目以及课程材料将支持展览。 还将制作一个网站和技术培训手册。 计划进行四个阶段的评估，包括前端分析，其中将包括7-12岁儿童的重点小组，以及使用互动原型的形成性评估。 补救性评价将在展览开幕后进行，总结性评价将使用跟踪和离职面谈来评估学习和理解情况。 预计每年将有超过130，000名游客参观，通过与科学和技术中心协会合作复制和旅行各种组件到其他海事博物馆，将扩大参观人数。 还将对旅行组件进行评估，以确定它们是否为海上展览提供了适当的模型。
