A Proposal for an Educationally Interactive Exhibit based on a 2069 Lunar Base
PubblicoThe Worcester Auditorium is in complete disrepair and the city has no idea what to do with it. This project required us to create a vision for an educational exhibit in the Worcester Auditorium’s basement. We also had to develop an architectural program which described the educational exhibit for architectural students that may be interested in a contest to actually design the exhibit, sponsored by ShiftBoston. The AIAA Region 1 may also put up some prize money for the architectural student contest entrants. After the vision was complete, we presented it at the AIAA Region 1 YPSE 2012 conference in Baltimore, MD in early November. Also, we presented in a private meeting with other museum and science facility owners from all over Massachusetts in an attempt to start a consortium to submit several proposal to NASA for the 2013 NRA, which had a section that called for improved STEM in science museums and similar facilities. From an educational perspective, this was a very effective vision to teach kids about STEM through a hands on interactive exhibit. From a business perspective, it was far too much of an investment than initially suspected.
