The Children’s Museum of History, Science
& Technology - serving Utica, Rome & the Mohawk Valley - is
proud to announce that a student team project we are hosting has been
named 1 of 20 finalists in a NASA nation-wide contest. Student
teams were invited to design a water recycling system for future astronauts
who will be living and working on the Moon. March 20th the student
group and their mentor unveiled their exhibit and did a short presentation
on their design. In a recent study, the National Academy of Sciences
concluded “To be prepared for today's workforce, and able to
understand the complex world in which we live, all Americans must
have a solid education in science, mathematics, and technology”.
This project will also be among this year’s Children’s
Museum Science & Technology Fair exhibits, which features 15 student
entries (30 students) from school districts throughout our area. Our
museum helps stimulate young imaginations and strengthen families
by promoting the importance of science, technology and cultural understanding
through our exhibits, activities and programs. "Marlene. Congratulations
to the Museum on the exciting report that a student team you are hosting
has been named by NASA a finalist in the agency’s nation-wide
contest.... deserves widespread attention. I continue to marvel at
how much you and the Museum team do with limited resources. Keep up
the great work which inspires young people to experience the awe and
unlimited possibilities which derive from a personal and a national
investment in history, science and technology. On the history part,
we have to learn from the past so we can be prepared for the future.
And science and technology? Wonderful career opportunities for young
people and potential solutions to the problems and challenges we face
on so many fronts. Wish I were going to be back home for the big event.
Nevertheless, I’ll be thinking about the Museum, the fond personal
memories of my involvement, and excitement of the unlimited potential
it offers for the area, the people it serves and so many worthy objectives.
As NASA is prone to say, Failure is not an option!” - Sherwood
