‘Open the pod bay doors, Hal.’

This famous line from the 1968 science-fiction film written by Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clark embodies the spirit behind the upcoming Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) 2010 Space Gala, taking place in Portland, Oregon on January 23, 2010. Sub-titled Discover * Inspire * Dream, the purpose for this exciting event is to ‘open the pod bay doors’ of the attendee’s minds to the possibilities of future space exploration and interplanetary travel.

Space Station Sponsor

As an industrious, technology-based services company, EngineWorks recognizes that the advancement of science and industry is spearheading new interactive technologies that are enabling our clients to connect with their target audiences through innovative means never imagined before. This fact is the impetus for our ‘Space Station’ level sponsorship of the OMSI 2010 Space Gala.

Taking place at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry in beautiful downtown Portland, the 2010 Space Gala will feature “launch pad” lounges throughout the museum offering savory buffets, signature drinks, and enjoyable conversations with fellow supporters of OMSI. Coupled with the examination of possible future space endeavors, the event will also include an exhilarating look into the history of human flight and aeronautics.

An OMSI Adventure

The Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI) is one of the nation’s leading science museums, offering almost 220,000 square feet of brain-powered fun through hundreds of interactive exhibits and hands-on demonstrations. The museum, which was founded in 1944, also has five exhibit halls, eight science labs, and an OMNIMAX Dome Theater. Other exhibits include the most technologically advanced planetarium in the Pacific Northwest, and the USS Blueback submarine, the last fast-attack diesel-powered submarine built by the U.S. Navy.

OMSI also offers a variety of educational programs, including the largest science outreach education program in the United States. The museum’s outreach programs take innovative science education “on the road” to students, teachers, and the public throughout five Western states. In addition, OMSI delivers professional development workshops for teachers, and distance learning programs for schools and districts.

A Journey To Our Future

The OMSI 2010 Space Gala will also celebrate the opening of the museum’s latest exhibit titled Space: A Journey To Our Future. This extraordinary exhibit, which is currently touring major science centers around the country, will offer attendees the opportunity to experience our past explorations and future destiny in space. Visitors are introduced to the dreamers and thinkers who, throughout history, have given us a better understanding of our universe.

Through immersive scenic exhibits, Space: A Journey To Our Future enables OMSI attendees to touch actual rocks that have been brought back from the surfaces of both the Moon and Mars. In addition, the presentation features the most advanced interactive displays, and state-of-the-art projection and audio technology, to bring the story of outer space to life.
