“The
Big Idea”
Modern manufacturing — automated, integrated, and flexible — enhances the quality of our lives. It is our challenge to ignite their curiosity, challenge their thinking, and engage them in the wonder of science and technology. It incorporates the concept of a variety of learning modes (e.g. watching, analyzing, replicating, extending) and the learning spiral (e.g. moving visitors from one level of understanding to another within a single exhibit space).Visitors will learn how to automate simple machine tasks while they control pneumatic and servo devices, load CNC machinery, and program industrial robots. All of the interactives are realistic and hands-on. Each visitor engages their own destiny as they make cognitive decisions that affect the outcome of their interactive experience. This type of learning empowers each visitors to discover their own interests, navigate their own exploration, and arrive at their own, uniquely individual conclusions. This also lends itself to an infinite range of experience and discovery. This exhibit support an important observation, “the Museum of Science and Industry if full of things that are big and real”. Equally important, it allows people to see, experience, and engage in something they otherwise would never experience—what it’s like to be inside a factory. Components of the exhibit
