Science of Fashion:The Principles of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Mathematics and Technology that Drive the Textile Industry

夏洛特科学博物馆公司将为科学博物馆展览合作(SMEC)开发一个5500平方英尺的时尚科学巡回展览。时装科学将于1994年2月开幕，将在32个月的时间里巡回美国8个主要城市，向250万人介绍推动纺织业发展的化学、物理、生物、数学和技术原理。时尚科学融合了多个学科，将帮助公众以整体的方式探索科学。由于主题有点不同寻常，时尚科学将有助于使观众多样化，吸引不同人群，特别是女性，她们通常不会参观科学博物馆。时尚科学是一个雄辩的展示科学的工具，教授图案几何的数学，生产统计和零售成本，设计新面料的聚合物化学，新自然颜色和强烈感知纤维的遗传学，以及尖端的研究，机器人，以及使美国纺织业保持在国际顶尖贸易地位的计算机化技术。严格的评估将确保一个令人满意的产品，具有教育效果，耐用，并吸引广泛的公众受众。时尚科学将是SMEC展会丰富的科学美食菜单中值得添加的一项内容。

Science Museums of Charlotte, Inc. will develop a 5500 square foot traveling exhibit on SCIENCE of FASHION for the Science Museum Exhibit Collaborative (SMEC). Opening in February 1994, SCIENCE of FASHION will tour eight major U.S cities over thirty-two months, introducing 2.5 million people to principles of chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, and technology that drive the textile industry. SCIENCE of FASHION integrates diverse disciplines and will help public explore science in a wholistic manner. Because the subject matter is somewhat unusual fare, SCIENCE of FASHION will help diversify audiences, drawing in population segments, particularly women, who may not normally visit science museums. SCIENCE of FASHION is an eloquent vehicle for science-rich exhibitry which teaches the mathematics of pattern geometry, production statistics, and retail costs, polymer chemistry for engineering new fabrics, the genetics of new natural colors and strong aware fibers, and the sophisticated research, robotics, and computerized technologies that keep America's textile industry at the top international commerce. Rigorous evaluation will ensure a satisfying product that is educationally-effective, durable, and appealing to a broad public audience. SCIENCE of FASHION will be a worthy addition to the rich menu of science fare in SMEC exhibitry.
