Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination
December 3rd 2008 05:20
Star Wars fans can find over 80 models, props and costumes from all six of the movies at the exhibition starting tomorrow. See C-3PO, R2-D2, Luke’s original landspeeder from Episode IV, Luke and Anakin’s prosthetic hands, an original Yoda puppet and much more.
The hands-on design labs will allow visitors to do such things as creating a virtual community; programming a robot to navigate through a droid factory; and building a levitating vehicle they could test on a magnetic track.
Teachers will be especially pleased to know that they can go during school hours by bringing students along to learn about the comparable real-world technologies, focussing on transportation and robotics. Workshops, tours and teachers notes are available.
Fun and educational. What more can you ask for?
See the exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum, 500 Harris Street, Ultimo from December 4, 2008 to April 26, 2009.
