🤖 miSci’s “Little Edisons” on Saturday, F

🤖 miSci’s “Little Edisons” on Saturday, Feb. 12th is all about robots! The fun begins at 11 a.m. when author Elizabeth (Beth) Hudson reads her book “Kleen O’Matic: Robots, Responsibility and Family Fun” that tells the story of Grayson who is tired of waiting for his parents to finish their chores, before they can have fun. He comes up with the idea of drawing a robot that can do the work, so they can play. Surprisingly, his idea works and Kleen ‘O Matic gets all the work done! 🤖 Participants also get the chance to help Cubetto, the little wooden robot, travel through the deep blue ocean! 🌊 The program fee is $12 per child, and $10 for Museum Members. Adults accompanying a child are not required to purchase an additional ticket.

And don’t miss a special book signing with Ms. Hudson at noon! 📕🖊🤩

Taken less than three weeks before his death on Ha

Taken less than three weeks before his death on Halloween 1926, this photo of legendary escape artist and illusionist Harry Houdini was shot on October 14, 1926 during an appearance on WGY radio to promote a performance in Albany, New York. It is one of more than fifty amazing images featured in miSci’s new exhibit “WGY: Radio’s Laboratory Celebrates Its Centennial” on view now!
.
WGY is the tenth oldest commercial radio station in the United States and still operates in the Capital Region today. The station is the creator of the first broadcast drama, a pioneer in the use of sound effects, the first affiliate of the NBC national network, and it regularly featured top national entertainers.

Don’t miss this exciting exhibit! Visit miSci.org for hours and admission information.

This scene looks like it could be a modern snow da

This scene looks like it could be a modern snow day, but it’s a photograph of East Capitol Street in Washington, DC, from 1897! These people are all bundled up to clear the streetcar line you can see on the road surface. The Metropolitan Railway operated on these tracks, and had converted their cars to run on electricity less than a year before this shot was taken. Electric streetcars produced less pollution than their horse-drawn and fuel-powered predecessors, a major advantage for growing cities.

Happy #MuseumSelfieDay! Started by London blogger

Happy #MuseumSelfieDay! Started by London blogger Mar Dixon in 2015, Museum Selfie Day is a way to share the fun of visiting your favorite museum, gallery, or cultural institution. And miSci’s exhibit “Seeing Ourselves: From Silhouette to Selfie” provides plenty of opportunities for capturing some cool and interesting shots! So come on by and see the exhibit that takes you on a journey through the development of portraiture, photography, and mirrors to reveal how the modern selfie came to be—all while capturing some great selfies of your own! So be creative, and remember your lighting and angles. Then hashtag your pics with the name of the day and post away! Because a selfie isn’t a selfie if there’s no one to witness it on social media! 📸😁
