Traveling Exhibit on Technology, Imagination and the Future Using the Fantasy Technologies in the Star Wars Movies as Examples

在三年的时间里，波士顿科学博物馆将举办全国巡回展览和相关项目，以支持美国国家工程院（national Academy of Engineering）和国际技术教育协会（International Technology Education Association）最近在报告中阐述的技术素养目标和标准。知识价值。该展览将利用《星球大战》电影中广为人知的角色和未来技术的形象来吸引游客，并让他们参与到可能影响我们生活的潜在技术的学习中。它结合了新的和适应的互动设备，将使参观者参与以探究为基础的学习，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相关的技术。更广泛的影响。该展览将通过前往科学博物馆展览合作组织的成员以及其他机构，吸引大量的全国观众。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。将通过为公众和学校团体制定方案，扩大教育影响，包括为不举办展览的机构提供材料，以及一个网站。

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.
