Hidden Universe is a multi-faceted project built around production of a 2D/3D giant screen film. The goal is to inspire, engage, and excite viewers about the mysterious worlds hidden around us and the science and technology that reveal them. The film will illuminate natural wonders that are invisible to the naked eye, such as objects and processes that are too slow, too fast, and too small to be seen without advanced technologies. It will include nanoscience and microbiology research and developing wavelength technologies such as ultrafast lasers. The project will employ cutting-edge technology to bring arresting footage of micro- and nanobiology to the giant screen to offer audiences (1) deeper understanding of natural phenomena that comes through observation and (2) greater appreciation of modern technology that makes such observation possible. The film story will focus on demonstrating science as inquiry and underscore the crucial link between scientific inquiry and technological advances. The film project will be enhanced with educational outreach materials, professional development opportunities for educators, and an interactive website. Hidden Universe will be produced by the large format team at National Geographic's Cinema Ventures group and its production partner Blacklight Films. The project brings to the table the extensive resources of the National Geographic Society. In addition, the project will partner with a select group of scientific research centers (Chester Carlson Center for Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology and the Nanobiotechnology Center at Cornell) and leaders in informal education (Boston Museum of Science and Girl Scouts) to extend the reach and impact of the project. The project will add to its list of partners by working with the D.C. Public Schools and Teach for America to find new ways to intersect with teachers and students in underserved areas. The project will employ Multimedia Research and Knight-Williams Research Communications to conduct the project's formative and summative evaluations, respectively.

隐藏的宇宙是一个多方面的项目，围绕2D/3D巨幕电影的生产。 我们的目标是激发，吸引和激发观众对隐藏在我们周围的神秘世界以及揭示它们的科学和技术的兴趣。这部电影将照亮肉眼看不见的自然奇观，例如太慢、太快、太小的物体和过程，如果没有先进技术就无法看到。它将包括纳米科学和微生物学研究以及开发超快激光等波长技术。该项目将采用尖端技术，将微型和纳米生物学的引人注目的镜头带到大屏幕上，为观众提供（1）通过观察更深入地了解自然现象，以及（2）更好地欣赏使这种观察成为可能的现代技术。 电影故事将集中展示科学作为探究，并强调科学探究与技术进步之间的关键联系。该电影项目将通过教育外展材料、教育工作者的专业发展机会和互动网站得到加强。 《隐藏的宇宙》将由国家地理电影风险投资集团的大幅面团队及其制作合作伙伴黑光电影公司制作。 该项目将国家地理学会的广泛资源带到桌面上。 此外，该项目还将与一组选定的科学研究中心（罗切斯特理工学院的切斯特卡尔森成像科学中心和康奈尔大学的纳米生物技术中心）和非正规教育的领导者（波士顿科学博物馆和女童子军）合作，以扩大该项目的范围和影响。该项目将通过与哥伦比亚特区公立学校和“为美国而教”合作，寻找与服务不足地区的教师和学生交流的新方法，从而增加其合作伙伴名单。该项目将聘请多媒体研究和骑士威廉姆斯研究通信进行项目的形成性和总结性评估，分别。
