SCITECH will develop and deliver ten sets of twelve portable interactive exhibits and educational programs on space exploration to 220 venues in five states. The project is based on a collaborative of ten small science museums: Imaginarium (Anchorage, AK); Bluedorn Imaginarium (Waterloo, IA); Science Station (Cedar Rapids, IA); Discovery Center (Rockford, IL); Lakeview Museum (Peoria, IL); SCITECH (Aurora, IL); Evansville Museum of Arts and Science (Evansville, IN); Science Central (Fort Wayne, IN); Children's Science Museum (Terre Haute, IN); Science Works (Ashland, OR). The Exploratorium will build the exhibits and conduct a residency program of professional development for staff from the participating museums.The exhibits and programs are intended to reach some 330,000 people in rural and lower-economic areas at 220 nontraditional destinations (fairs, festivals, libraries, scouts and youth clubs). These activities are designed to increase interest in and knowledge of astronomy and space exploration. In addition, this project will provide capacity building and professional development for the small museums, as well as a model that can be used by others not participating directly in this project.

SCITECH将开发并向五个州的220个场地提供10套12个便携式互动展览和太空探索教育节目。该项目是基于十个小型科学博物馆的合作：（安克雷奇，AK）; Bluedorn Imaginarium（滑铁卢，IA）;科学站（爱荷华州锡达拉皮兹）;探索中心（伊利诺伊州罗克福德）;拉克维尤博物馆（皮奥里亚，IL）; SCITECH埃文斯维尔艺术与科学博物馆（Evansville Museum of Arts and Science）（埃文斯维尔，印第安纳州）;科学中心（韦恩堡，印第安纳州）;儿童科学博物馆（特雷霍特，印第安纳州）;科学工程（阿什兰，OR）。探索博物馆将建造展览，并为参与博物馆的工作人员开展一项专业发展驻留计划。这些展览和计划旨在使220个非传统目的地（集市、节日、图书馆、童子军和青年俱乐部）的农村和经济较低地区的约33万人受益。这些活动旨在提高对天文学和空间探索的兴趣和知识。此外，该项目将为小型博物馆提供能力建设和专业发展，并为未直接参与该项目的其他人提供一个可供使用的模式。
