STARFLEET ACADEMY EXPERIENCE Returns to NY Area

˙

˙

˙

After spending most of the year in Canada, the Starfleet Academy Experience traveling exhibit returns to the New York City area this month, beaming down to the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey starting October 28.

Last year the Academy Experience set up shop at the USS Intrepid museum in New York City, where fans – including our team – had the chance to tour the interactive exhibit, home to a number of screen-used Trek props and costumes, as well as a recreation of the Enterprise-D bridge with video ‘tests’ throughout the presentation.

Here are just a few of our photos from the Intrepid exhibit last summer; you can find our full gallery in the TrekCore image archives.

From October 28 – May 28, 2018, the Liberty Science Center – just a 30 minute drive from New York City – will be host to the next Academy Experience.

In this interactive, immersive exhibition based on one of the world’s most popular sci-fi series, you’ll step into the shoes of a newly minted cadet in the 26th century. As you travel through nine different zones, you’ll receive the necessary science, engineering, medical, and command training to navigate your way from orientation through graduation.

Both Trekkies and non-Trekkies will be engaged by the science behind the science fiction. Learn how Star Trek paved the way for many of today’s cutting-edge technologies—such as a functional tricorder, NASA’s warp drive theory, and experiments involving phasers and teleporters—and even get a glimpse into the future of Star Trek science.

The Liberty Science Center is open Tuesdays through Sundays all year — if you’re in the tri-state area and didn’t have an opportunity to visit the Academy Experience last year, be sure and plan an away mission this time around!

Thanks to Marina Kravchuk for the tip!
