Matt and I walk through giving an audio tour of Wichita Kansas’ Exploration Place’s, Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit.  Along the tour we meet up with Exploration Place’s President Jan Luth for a quick interview and you get a brief sampling of the Millennium Falcon experience.  The transitions are a little rough, but we make it through the asteroid field.  If you have not been to the exhibit yet make your plans because the exhibit only runs through September 3.

More Exploration Place

 

One of the Hands-On Stations at Exploration Place’s “Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination” exhibit.  This station has three different locals that attendees can enter act with (That’s April and Logan, part of the ComicPop Library team, in the second picture).  Each station is different.  They stations themes are: Moisture Farm; Mos Eisley; and Jawa Village.  You have a variety of plates that you place in front of a scanner and it will tell you what the plate represents.  It then puts the image of the plate up on the computer screen around your environment.  You then place the images on different places on the turn table to make a functioning environment.  Depending on your placement of the plates will determine if your economy good, social aspects are good, and conflict is minimal or viceversa.  So if your looking for a fun event to do this Summer, stop by the Exploration Place in Wichita, Kansas.

Exploration Place Trip

Matt and I just got back from the Media Day and Opening Day of Exploration Place’s “Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination” exhibit.  We had a great time.  We have several pictures that will be uploaded over the next several days, if not weeks and some special podcasts over the exhibit and the regional 501st, 70th Explorers Garrison.

We start the pictures with the one above which is of course the droids and Princess Leia’s costume from Star Wars: A New Hope.
