Description
About the Exhibition:
Be the Astronaut,
February 4 – June 5, 2023
Be the Astronaut is a world-class exhibition experience that teaches STEM-based content via a fusion of state-of-the art video game technology and traditional exhibitory.
In the exhibition, visitors learn about the challenges and excitement of spaceflight -- then apply that knowledge as they fly the spaceships, pilot the landers, and drive the rovers, in a thrilling narrative adventure to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars, Ceres, and Jupiter.
The focus of the exhibition is on the concepts common to all space flight and so uses the narrative of a possible future space mission, as opposed to any particular historic mission, as the framework to communicate these ideas. The exhibit is available during standard Sci-Port operating hours.
