The 1964 World’s Fair boggles my mind. I can’t believe there was a time in America when science was revered, celebrated on such an incredible scale, and monuments were built to it. The NY Hall of Science is built up within the grounds of this wonderful event, and area in Queens filled with great big monuments to science, forward-thinking, and positive attitudes about what humanity can accomplish.
 The man to the left of this photo, touching the wall, was last here at the World’s Fair, when he was four years old. |

Miscellaneous Photos
Part of PBS’s Cyberchase exhibit was an exercise bike showing kids how much energy they were generating. There were also stations for building platonic solids, conveyor belt you program with balls, which fall to make music, computer puzzles, Mayan Numbers, and more.
I know there are people out there who are offended by this, but I thought it was cool that all of these displays were in English and Spanish. I love cultural diversity, especially in America
