Building on their successful traveling exhibition and Web site, "Invention at Play," funded by the NSF Informal Science Education Program, the Smithsonian's Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation (National Museum of American History) in collaboration with Smithsonian Affiliates around the country is developing "Places of Invention" (POI). Major deliverables include a 3,500 square-foot permanent exhibition at NMAH and a highly interactive Web site that focus on practicing inventive skill-building and illustrating the ways that place and social collaboration shape the creative process. The POI exhibition features an interactive Invent Town area and five stories about "hot spots" of invention from the mid-19th century to the present, each providing hands-on experiences that relate to particular "21st Century skills" and to the social, psychological, and spatial dimensions of invention, science, and engineering. The project intends to establish a new model for the co-creation of exhibition content among NMAH visitors, Web site users, Lemelson Center staff, and partnering Smithsonian Affiliate museums around the country. The exhibition and Web site will be designed with inter-linking features that allow museum visitors and people from around the country to add local stories of creative activities in their home towns, share their own inventive designs, and dialog with each other about the inventive process.

在他们成功的巡回展览和网站的基础上，由NSF非正式科学教育计划资助的“Invention at Play”，史密森尼学会的Lemelson发明与创新研究中心（美国国家历史博物馆）与全国各地的史密森尼学会附属机构合作，正在开发“发明场所”（POI）。 主要的成果包括在NMAH举办一个3,500平方英尺的永久展览，以及一个高度互动的网站，该网站专注于实践创造性技能的培养，并展示了地方和社会合作塑造创造过程的方式。 POI展览设有一个互动的发明城区域和五个关于从世纪中期到现在的发明“热点”的故事，每个故事都提供了与特定的“21世纪世纪技能”以及发明，科学和工程的社会，心理和空间维度相关的实践经验。 该项目旨在建立一个新的模式，在NMAH访问者、网站用户、Lemelson中心工作人员和全国各地的史密森尼附属博物馆之间共同创作展览内容。 展览和网站的设计将具有相互链接的功能，使博物馆参观者和来自全国各地的人们能够在他们的家乡添加当地的创意活动故事，分享他们自己的创意设计，并就创意过程进行对话。
