Ontario Science Centre presents interactive travelling exhibition
Toronto, July 18 (IBNS): Ontario Science Centre's interactive travelling exhibition PoPnology, the convergence between popular culture and current technology, is being run from May 19 to August 6, media reports said.
Ontario Science Centre,Toronto, reportedly one of the world's first interactive science museums, opened in 1969 and is a global leader in life long learning
Popnology communicates with past, present and future and shows how human imagination has the power to predict the future.
During an interview session with Dr Maurice Bitran, Chief Executive Officer & Chief Science Officer of the Ontario Science Centre on May 19, Bitran said the research that is done in Science and technology in this centre is more about communicating with the students and to "solve the very significant sustainability problem of science, technology and innovation."
Bitran added that kids in Ontario are exposed to Science in grade 9th and 10th and the centre felt it should intervene to facilitate kids to absorb all aspects of science and technology in the best perspective.
Ontario Science Centre's research in fact, continues Bitran, is all about communication, not only between the researchers, the students and other public; it is about communicating between the past, present and the future.
Ontario Science Centre collaborates with various universities, colleges and research centres.
The interactive traveling exhibition, PoPnology is the result of its collaboration with Durham College which sponsored this program.
POPnology uncovers, through games, hands-on robotics and futuristic technology, the impact of pop culture on how we play, connect, move, live and work, the four main areas into which PoPnology is divided.
To extend the POPnology experience, the Ontario Science Centre offers extended, hands-on programming throughout the exhibition including Hands-on robotics; virtual projection games; futuristic musical instrument technology; immersive games, including virtual reality gaming, Robotic arm interactives and much more.
PoPnology also explores how popular film, television, books and art influence our past, present and future.
