San Diego "Balboa Park" Centennial Coming!
With
less than three years to go, the centennial of "Balboa Park's 1915"
world's fair is steaming right ahead.
Steam
stands for science, technology, engineering, art and math and its one
of the big ideas party planners are toying with for the yearlong
blowout in 2015. It's an echo of the Panama-California
Exposition of 1915-16
when
innovation was king, both in products displayed and in the
setting--flower-filled gardens surrounding Spanish colonial revival
palaces.
Example:
Medical
students are trained in an art museum to deepen their observational
skills,
the National Science Foundation to set up similar incubators in Chicago
and Wooster, Mass with the findings presented here. Another idea is a
"Living House" exhibit where pieces of a model home are swapped out as
new technology and systems are invented.
365 Days of Music would offer daily musical events, both
professional and amateur and even make it possible to leave a "virtual
song" at a park spot that
gets shared on-line with friends and relatives.
