Science Fiction Turned Fact (Exploratorium)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Science fiction has predicted many things. Some have come true (think touch screens, submarines, bionic limbs), others, not so much-or at least, not yet. If you’ve ever wondered where your flying car or rocket belt is, or why you don’t yet have a robot servant, find out here!

Since joining the Exploratorium in 1971, Ron Hipschman has worked as an exhibit developer, author, teacher, and web host. He currently works on the Exploratorium’s Environmental Initiative, implementing and maintaining a collection of environmental monitoring sensors and developing visualizations for the Fisher Bay Observatory Gallery’s super-resolution media wall.
