Over a three year period, the Museum of Science, Boston will develop a national traveling exhibition and associated programs that will support the goals and standards for technological literacy that were recently articulated in reports by the National Academy of Engineering and the International Technology Education Association. Intellectual Merit. The exhibit will take advantage of the widely known characters and images of future technology from the Star Wars movies to attract visitors and to engage them in learning about potential technologies that may impact our lives. It incorporates new and adapted interactive devices that will involve visitors in inquiry-based learning about technologies related to frictionless land vehicles, robotic mobility mechanisms, and habitats for living underwater and in space.Broader Impact. The exhibition will reach a large national audience by traveling to the members of the Science Museum Exhibit Collaborative as well as other institutions. Use of popular culture, science fiction and futuristic technology will help attract those who may not be traditional science center visitors. Educational impact will be extended through programming for the public and school groups, including materials for institutions that do not host the exhibition, along with a website.

在三年的时间里，波士顿科学博物馆将开发一个国家巡回展览和相关项目，以支持国家工程院和国际技术教育协会最近在报告中阐述的技术素养的目标和标准。智力优势。 展览将利用星星大战电影中广为人知的未来技术人物和图像来吸引游客，并让他们参与学习可能影响我们生活的潜在技术。 它采用了新的和经过调整的互动设备，将使游客参与基于调查的学习，了解与无摩擦陆地车辆，机器人移动机制，以及水下和太空生活栖息地有关的技术。 该展览将通过前往科学博物馆展览合作以及其他机构的成员，达到大量的全国观众。 利用流行文化、科幻小说和未来科技将有助于吸引那些可能不是传统科学中心游客的人。将通过为公众和学校团体编制节目，包括为不主办展览的机构提供材料，以及沿着一个网站，扩大教育影响。
