'Star Wars' Educating the Young and Old

10/27/2005 11:31 AM

So Star Wars is all science fiction, eh?
Well, that may be so, but Yoda and Company has arrived at the Museum of Science in Boston to educate the young and old in the many fields of science.
"The museum's president and director, Ioannis Miaoulis, said he feared U.S. schools were failing to produce enough future engineers to meet competition from Asia, putting pressure on museums like his to play a more influential role."
The $5 million exhibit educates children on everything from the levitating Landspeeder demonstrating 'maglev' technology to Anakin Skywalker's prosthetic right hand to explain advances in robotic technology and modern medical prosthetics."
So anyone suffering from the "Star Wars" movie fall-out, head to Boston.

Irony

It's ironic that in a time of tension between science and religion, a story used to form a new faith will also be used to inspire the techies of tomorrow.
