Walt Disney Pictures and National Academy of Engineering (NAE) co-created a highly interactive exhibit for the USA Science & Engineering Festival, which will take place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., October 23-24, 2010, from 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m. each day. The hands-on experience blends themes from the upcoming major motion picture “TRON: Legacy” with the NAE’s Grand Challenges for Engineering.
“We recognize that science and engineering can lead to interesting career possibilities and advancements in the entertainment industry,” said Sean Bailey, President, Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Production. “Filmmakers and creative teams are consistently looking to the latest technology to help tell rich stories in the most modern way and we’re pleased to be a part of this exciting festival.”
The Disney-NAE “Turning Dreams Into Reality” Exhibit Will Be in Exhibit Space 102, the National Academies Tent, at the Corner of Madison Avenue and 3rd Street in Front of the U.S. Capitol Reflecting Pool
