SPACESHIP DISCOVERY
Science and Technology Museum

Information

Founding the museum
For 32 years as a Physics Educator Mr. Floyd T. Holt engaged his students in major class projects. Each year, they designed something new and different, such as an exact radio controlled copy of R2D2 after "Star Wars" premiered in the theatres and a flying saucer after "Close Encounters". He found a great number were fascinated by the fact that they could use their knowledge of Physics to build practically anything. These projects included holograms, murals, a walking robot, a giant Carbon Dioxide laser, a flying saucer, a spaceship car, ROBOTEACHER (a voice actuated teaching and learning station), a computer controlled android resembling the Terminator and many others. When he retired the feeling was that all of this effort would be of great use to continue to educate and share these inventions with the general public and "children of all ages" if he and his "Starship Officers" created a museum. The last 5 years of his career he created "THE SPACESHIP CLASSROOM" which combined all the elements into a major theme. Pictures of their adventures may be found on our web site at www.spaceshipclassroom.com. This endeavor has been asked to go to the new Smithsonian Air and Space Museum at the Dulles airport in Washington, DC but the creators decided to stay in New York to provide access to citizens of this area.

Exhibits

Permanent Displays
The museum features interactive hands-on and minds-on exhibits for children of all ages. The emphasis is on Science: PAST, PRESENT, and FUTURE. Inside the main exhibit area there is the bridge of a starship with a captain's chair, Science Officer Stations and spaceship doors to the interior: robots R2D2; his girlfriend R2She2, a flying saucer, the terminator, ROBOTEACHER, plasma displays, a High Technology area, space vehicles, and an alien spaceship car. (More can be found on our web site). In our outside area we will exhibit The Hyde Park Mastodon (recently featured on the Discovery Channel), dinosaur models, murals, posters and displays in a prehistoric setting.

Rotating Displays
We have a rotating series of exhibits so that visitors will see new demonstrations and participate in new experiences each time they arrive. Visitors can participate in topics on Biology, Chemistry, Physics and the latest innovations in Technology. Several kiosks, galleries and theatres are devoted to DVD and Digital video presentations and interactive programs, games, contests and adventures.
