Theater Program  Featured Program for a General Audience caption (clockwise): Quasi, Rosie - cartoon robot, cyborg, medical robot, dancing robots This show is in the Science Stage auditorium and is for general audiences. Explore a day in the life of Quasi the robot (actually he’s an animatronic!) and Christina (actually she’s a human!). Quasi and Christina will lead you through the wide world of robots past, present and future, and their exciting adventures on land; under the sea; and in space. Learn how robots sense, think and act, and maybe even communicate like a robot on stage (good luck!). Also, investigate careers in robotics. Who knows? Maybe YOU will invent the next revolutionary robot!

Students talk with experts and participate in hands-on experiments in the emerging industries of the western Pennsylvania region: Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, Robotics, Advanced Materials Processes, Environmental Technology, and Information Technology. These hands-on, personal experiences link classroom learning to real-world applications and allow your students to explore job shadowing opportunities. Exhibitors include: CHEVRON, FedEx Ground, PPG, U.S. Steel Corporation, University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University and Carnegie Mellon University. Students complete passports, a form of student accountability, and teachers receive Act 48 Credit for passport completions. Students collect stamps in their passport booklet by visiting exhibit booths. A tear sheet has the checklist to tabulate the completed tasks and validate the completion of the passport. Daily 9am-2pm Exhibit Information Science and technology topics include: Biotechnology, Nanotechnology, Robotics, Advanced Materials Processes, Environmental Technology, and Information Technology.
