The Learning Studio is part of the PIE Institute.
The PIE Institute grew out of educational research led by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab. With support from the National Science Foundation, the Lifelong Kindergarten group developed the Cricket, a small programmable device. In 2000 educators from MIT and several museums formed the PIE Network and began to experiment with science and art activities using the Cricket and other new digital technologies. The PIE Institute continues the work of the PIE Network by continuing to create playful and inventive educational activities using science, art, and technology, and by sharing PIE ideas with a larger audience of educators in museums and other kinds of informal learning environments. This material is based on work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. ESI-0452567. http://www.exploratorium.edu/pie/index.html |

This is the Great 36-inch Refractor at Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton. This telescope was completed in 1888 with a $700,000 donation by James Lick and was, at the time, the largest telescope in the world. James Lick is entombed at the base of the telescope. A fitting monument to him.
The observatory has graciously allowed the Exploratorium to use this wonderful instrument for several webcasts. Here we are webcasting the impact of NASA's LCROSS spacecraft into the moon on October 9th, 2009. To watch the LCROSS webcast, go Here: http://www.exploratorium.edu/webcasts/archive.php?searchtext=lcross&cmd=search&submit.x=0&submit.y=0 For more information about this telescope, see the Observatory website at http://www.ucolick.org/public/telescopes/36-inch.html |
