MathAlive! now at Strategic Air & Space Museum
The Raytheon MathAlive! traveling exhibit will appear in Ashland at the Strategic Air & Space Museum from September 21, 2013 through January 5, 2014. The exhibit offers visitors the chance to ride a snowboard in a 3D experience, design (and play) their own video games, capture their 360-degree images in a unique interactive, jump into a fractal dance party, and even design custom skateboards for “pop” – the quick, snapping motion that allows a board to do the best tricks.
MathAlive! is presented nationally by Raytheon. The exhibition is sponsored locally by Mutual of Omaha; First National Bank; Valmont Industries, Inc.; WOWT Channel 6-Omaha; the Dixon Family Foundation; Robert H. Storz Foundation; BNSF; Omaha Public Power District; Gallup; Allstate; HDR; Embassy Suites Omaha-La Vista; and US Bank.
The MathAlive! exhibit uses nearly 40 unique, interactive experiences to transform math from its native form into the fascinating applied worlds of design, engineering, technology and science.
There are six themed main galleries covering more than 5,000 square feet of space:
- Outdoor Action … Adventure Sports
- Build Your World … Environment
- Future Style … Style and Design
- Kickin’ It … Entertainment
- Game Plan …Video Games and Other Games
