Join the Starfleet Academy for a Day: 'Star Trek' Exhibit Goes on Tour This Year

• http://www.space.com, By Elizabeth Howell

The exhibit, which will fill a 10,000-square-foot (930 square meters) space in the museum, celebrates the 50th anniversary of the famed space franchise and will include props, costumes and technology (such as a medical tricorder table or planet projection mapping). Exact dates for the New York City appearance of Starfleet Academy have not been released.

"The exhibition offers visitors the chance to experience life as a Starfleet Academy cadet as they attend the Academy's Career Day in the 26th century," museum officials wrote in a statement.

Produced by EMS Entertainment, the exhibit will open at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum (CASM) in Ottawa, Ontario, on May 26, before coming to the Intrepid Museum in New York and later touring other museums in the U.S.

"After student orientation, cadets will visit nine zones focused on the training center's specialties: language, medical, navigation, engineering, command and science," the statement said. "Following these interactions, cadets will be assigned a specialty and a demeanor based on their individual training." - See more at: http://www.space.com/31780-star-trek-exhibit-at-intrepid-museum.html#sthash.bZqRscqE.dpuf
