This is a cool Star Wars Science Exhibit..
My wife actually found the article in the Family Circle Magazine.
The first exhibition of its kind, Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination combines costumes and props from all six Star Wars films with real-world technologies; video interviews with filmmakers, scientists and engineers; hands-on components, including two large Engineering Design Labs, where visitors build and test speeders and robots.
Luke's original Landspeeder from Episode IV is on public exhibit for the first time, alongside scale models of X and Y-wing starfighters, TIE fighters. Visitors will also see an original Yoda Puppet from the first trilogy, Darth Vader's actual helmet from Episode III. PERSONAL HOVERCRAFT
Visitors climb into an air-cushion vehicle and experience how a floating vehicle handles.
ROBOT OBJECT THEATER DEBATE:
Entering a large-scale model of the rusted-steel interior of a Jawa Sandcrawler, visitors meet C-3PO and (via video projection) real-world robotics engineer Cynthia Breazeal, Director of the Robotic Life Group, MIT Media Lab. The robot and the roboticist debate the merits of R2-D2 and how researchers try to duplicate traits such as mobility, perception, and cognition, while introducing some Star Wars robots. A tour of real world robotics follows. BUILDING COMMUNITIES AUGMENTED REALITY INTERACTIVE
Together, visitors build a spaceport, moisture farm community, and walled Jawa town. Placing cards on a table-the physical landscape-a computer superimposes a building on a site in virtual reality and real time. A VR explorer enables visitors using a head-mounted display to "fly" through the collaboratively built environment. Augment Your Experience With Our Multimedia Tour. Read more
REAL WORLD STARSHIPS
Visitors will see actual vehicles and prototypes that researchers and engineers in our own world have developed. REAL WORLD ROBOTS
Today's task-oriented robots and humanoid robots like QRIO are on display in the exhibit. Visitors will get to see a floor-vacuuming Roomba that can sense its surroundings and plug itself in to recharge, as well as early ancestors such as the Johns Hopkins Beast developed inthe 1960s. MAJOR CHALLENGE AREAS: ENGINEERING DESIGN LABS
MAGLEV ENGINEERING DESIGN LAB:
Visitors experiment with magnetic levitation, imagining, creating, and testing a floating Maglev Cars by propelling them along a magnetic track.
ROBOT ENGINEERING DESIGN LAB:
Museum-goers become robot designers. They select wheels or treads, choose different kinds of sensors, and program the robot to navigate through the droid factory to its goal-Padme's ship.
